TMWEI Annual Charity Gala

Terrie M Williams Expansion, Inc. invite you to join us as we reflect on the problems of homelessness in our state. “Homelessness in Delaware has more than doubled in the past year, according to a new report from the Delaware Housing Alliance”. While rates of homelessness have increased across the board − primarily due to wider access to services for those in need − families with children under 18 have been hit hardest. Homelessness among families tripled from 2019 to 2022, whereas homelessness among adults doubled during that same time period. Over half of the children under 18 experiencing homelessness on the night of Feb. 23, 2022 — the Housing Alliance's "point in time" survey aimed at capturing the major trends in homelessness — were staying in motels on vouchers.” (Delawareonline.com 11/17/2022) 

Fortunately, compassionate and informed citizens, such as yourselves understand the reality of these problems and feel compelled to contribute to the solution. Providing housing assistance and advocacy are at the heart of our mission. From March 2022 to present, we have assisted over 450 families and individuals with rental, utility, security, storage, motel stay, food, clothing, book bags, toys and supplies along with hosting financial and estate planning workshops to name some of the many services that we provide. Clients received over a quarter million dollars in financial housing stability assistance. Our resources stretch to those that are homeless; citizens transitioning from prison; Veterans; the LGBTQ community; widows; the elderly; and the disabled to name a few. 

Our future goal is to acquire homes to be renovated for our underserved and vulnerable population. We are seeking to purchase a motel/hotel; multi and single-family homes; along with land. Our long-term goal is to raise 2.5 million dollars. Our immediate short term goal is quarter of million dollars. This is needed to provide basic needs for the coming year (storage, rent, security, motel, identification, securing property etc.). 

Upholding these intentions requires substantial financial support. As a nonprofit organization, we receive some funding from governmental sources but the foundation of our financial health derives from the generous contributions of conscientious citizens. We appeal to you today to become a lifesaver and help us improve the quality of another person’s life.
