After 50 Years of Progress, the Future Is More Uncertain Than Ever
Beyond Housing President and CEO Chris Krehmeyer writes why, after 50 years of transformation, the organization’s future and those it serves are in jeopardy.
An urgent message from Beyond Housing
As we saw with the COVID pandemic and the Great Recession in 2008, the poorest in our region are the hardest hit by any crisis.
While most of us have felt the sting of inflation, low-income St. Louis families are especially hurting.
Most families Beyond Housing serves live at or below the poverty line. Many who were progressing toward greater economic independence now struggle to pay rent and utilities and cannot afford to buy milk and eggs.
These rising costs also severely impact Beyond Housing’s ability to operate at a time when the need has never been greater—and threaten to erase the progress that we and so many others have worked for decades to create.
Beyond Housing will be hosting food drives and providing utility assistance in the weeks ahead to prevent these families from falling further behind.
St. Louis, we need you more than ever.
Please donate to stand with us between this crisis and those we serve.
