When a storm is affecting your community, knowing where to turn can make the next step a little clearer.

Need help finding local resources like food, shelter, utility assistance or other community support? Call 211 or visit 211.org. A 211 specialist can help connect you with resources and referrals available in your area.

If you are in immediate danger or need urgent emergency response, call 911.

Keep following local emergency officials for evacuation orders and safety updates.

If someone you know is in an affected area, share 211 with them.

Children experience domestic violence, too. They don't have to be physically harmed to be affected by violence in their home. CHILD, Inc.’s Helping Children Heal program serves children ages 4–18 exposed to intimate partner violence, along with their caregivers. Helping children heal is part of helping families heal.

Tomorrow, October 10, is World Homeless Day and World Mental Health Day. Both days speak to the work of One Big House, where Friendship House & Limen Recovery and Wellness serve Delaware neighbors together.

At Friendship House, we use two words with care: Houselessness and homelessness

Houselessness is the loss of a physical place to live.

Homelessness is the loss of community and connection.

Houselessness and homelessness can happen to anyone. So can a mental health struggle, and each one tends to make the others harder.

That is why our work covers both: helping people find and keep stable housing, and providing a community of support with people who know them by name.

We’re grateful to everyone in this community who helps a neighbor find a place to live and people to lean on.
