Good morning all. This is an update on the Homeless Emergency Fund and what we managed to achieve and what the status is towards us again securing the all impoortant extra R20 000 from the funder for June. You will see based on this month's figures how essential this extra

R20 000 is towards us doing the work we do effectively. By the grace of God we also had the best month in so far as individuals that we have assisted over the last 17 months moving out of their rooms into their own accommodation.Most had already paid for the month of May and so

very generously made arrangements for the organisation to be able to take over those rooms for new residents. 67 of our old residents moved into their own rented accommodation. 37 of them on the 1st of the month and 30 of them during the month. These 30 gave us R22500 in

rent value when they decided to ask the landlord to apply their reent to new residents. This is the pay it forward spirit that allows us to thrive. We managed to accmmodate 52 individuals (mostly the elderly and single moms with children). This would have cost us R39 000 at

our special rate of R750 per month. In effect, we only used R16 500 from the Homeless Emergency Fund. We also spent R1200 in getting a young girl caught in the Bellville sex racket out and back home. You will remember from the end of last month that the staff at

CM Homeless Solutions, in gratitude for what had been done for them during the salary crisis donated a total of R6000 towards the fund at the very last minute putting the fund at R46 000 for May. We of course have to pay our June overheads at the end of this month, which is

the electricity at DIGNITY HOUSE (R2000), project costs at DIGNITY HOUSE (R3000), the rent at Rehab Recovery Rooms (R6000). [12 people are currently spending their second month at this facility and we have had 12 graduate from it and 9 are successfully employed] and R1800 has

already been used for Aunty Joan's thrombolytic medication. That means we again have a shortfall of R4500.00 So, please, if you have the capacity to assit us with this R4500 so that we can qualify for the much needed R20 000 from the donor, please donate what you can to
