Now in our 34th year, MCREST remains dedicated to supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Macomb County and empowering them to transition to self-reliance and housing. Last year, MCREST served approximately 350 people. Fully a quarter of all those MCREST serves are children.

​

As homelessness surged due to COVID-19, MCREST expanded our services to meet the crisis, serving approximately an additional 215 adults and 100 children experiencing homelessness during this past winter.  

​

Together with your support, this year we opened a fixed shelter in Mt. Clemens that now provides wraparound services to up to 45 women and children at a time as they journey home.

​

In our new shelter, we are expanding our innovative Learning & Resource Center, which has provided nearly 800 people experiencing homelessness with educational opportunities and job-placement and job-readiness services, helping our guests secure jobs in high-demand fields and transition to stable lifestyles.

​

Your investment in MCREST is far more than a handout. It is an investment in transforming lives and rebuilding futures. 

​

On behalf of the men, women and children experiencing homelessness who will benefit from your compassion and generosity, I want to personally thank you for your consideration and hope that you will partner with us today to make a difference in your community.
