~ Make a Donation ~

Unable to attend the auction but are still looking for a way to contribute?  Consider making a general donation to the auction to support SAHG's efforts to create homes and restore hope for the homeless and low-income members of our Eastside community.

Why are we asking for you help?

• King County’s Eastside has the highest average rents and home prices in the Pacific Northwest. (Dupree & Scott)
• Twenty percent of Eastside families live on a gross income of less than $40,000 a year. (2000 Census)
• Families with children make up the largest (51%) portion of homeless households in shelters and transitional housing outside Seattle. (2005-2006 Human Services Needs Update, Bellevue)

What your donations do?

Proceeds from the dinner and auction fulfill one-third of SAHG’s annual operating costs, allowing us to continue building and managing affordable housing units while providing a supportive Resident Services Program that helps residents attain self-sufficiency. 

• SAHG serves over 925 individuals each year, with 10 properties in Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Mercer Island and Redmond.
  
• SAHG serves the poor, including those transitioning directly from homelessness, as well as the working poor. Currently, 38% of SAHG’s residents are children, 46% are female-headed households and 10% of the households were formerly homeless.
