TESTIMONIAL FROM A VETERAN PORCH RENTER…

What would you tell anyone that needed help about PORCH?

“I was introduced to PORCH via St. Vincent de Paul. I was stunned at the impressive response after submitting. Porch worked with me and St. Vincent de Paul to secure a living status that got me off the street. I now understand why they need funding; every bit helps! Their commitment to quality surpasses even the best. Their communication and updates help enormously to those of us that are in need of housing (giving back to the community). I cannot explain in words what PORCH does, for it is a life changing feeling.”
