Homelessness in El Paso
In 2019, the El Paso Coalition for the Homeless counted 809 homeless people in the El Paso area. However considering the fact that a large majority of the homeless are considered to be "hidden" because they live in their cars or other circumstances, it's safe to say that conservatively speaking, the actual number of homeless people in El Paso is more than twice 809 and more likely to be over 1,600. One of the biggest contributing factors to the homeless issue is the lack of affordable and safe housing. Add to the equation the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and you can understand the severity of the situation at hand in our community.
Make an impact in the lives of the homeless of El Paso.

Reliable transportation is so important for someone trying to keep a new job. The donation of a vehicle could help someone get to work on time every day and continue to save part of their income for the future.
