Logan Alexander, Program Director 166 Riverside Shelter

“Furniture Friends is an integral part of our goal to help our shelter residents transition into safe, permanent housing. It would be nearly impossible for individuals moving from an emergency shelter to establish independent living without the necessary furniture to create the comfort of a home.”

“Furniture Friends was so wonderful. I had saved money for the move, but with the uncertainty of securing employment and a work visa, I expected that it would be many months before we’d have the basics to live comfortably.” 

Meet Claudette Ndayininahaze

“Furniture Friends has made a lasting impact on the lives of the women and families we serve, helping them create safe and welcoming homes that foster stability and growth.”

We recently utilized Furniture Friends to support a community member that was transitioning from being unhoused for decades to permanent housing in the form of a small apartment. He had very limited funds to work with, and none of those funds were available to be utilized to furnish his space.
