Your participation is crucial. Your attendance is not!

 

Contribute to expanding access to affordable housing from the comfort of your own home. Create brighter futures for youth, families, and seniors with just the click of a button. Better Housing Coalition’s 9th Annual Non-Event Gala: Opening Doors to Success invites you to do just that.
On April 29th, we are rallying together to raise $75,000 in support of BHC’s mission and the individuals and families we serve. There is no ticket to purchase and no dress code – just a shared commitment to providing stability, opportunity, and hope.
Your gift on April 29th helps open more doors: to a safe and affordable home, to financial stability, and to a brighter future for our residents and community.
What is the Non-Event Gala? Now in its 9th year, BHC launched Richmond’s first-ever Non-Event Gala to raise awareness and critical support for affordable housing in our region. Instead of attending a traditional fundraising event, supporters are invited to make a fully tax-deductible gift -no program to sit through, no travel to a venue, no suit to rent or dress to purchase. Just meaningful impact, made simple through your gift.

Every dollar supports families and senior residents in your community!

 

Why should I support the Better Housing Coalition? With eviction rates and housing costs ever increasing across Greater Richmond, gaining and maintaining quality affordable housing can seem like an unattainable feat for those financially burdened. At BHC, we work to provide high-quality, healthy homes and crucial support services to help the 2,800+ individuals living in a BHC rental community – regardless of their economic status – reach their fullest potential. Housing is the leading determinant for future economic, education, and employment success. Where you live can change your life.

By supporting Opening Doors to Success, you’re making a direct investment in safe, affordable housing and the programs that help BHC residents thrive!

Many thanks to these generous business partners and individuals who support service-enriched, affordable housing in their communities!
