“PLEDGE FOR A HOUSEHOLD”
Step Up On Second is opening 44 permanent, supportive housing units on 5th Street in Santa Monica this month. Donations are to cover cost of move-in supplies of bedding, towels, dishes, hygiene kits, cleaning supplies, personal items. Step Up on Second involves individuals with severe and persistent mental illness in developing opportunities to reintegrate into the community.

StepUP

Step Up is dedicated to long-term support of people in recovery and their families, offering quality housing, educational, social and work experiences. Step Up is committed to increasing public understanding and acceptance of mental illness. Many veterans and their families have found themselves helped by this program.

Those who pledged $120 to the station were thanked with move-in supplies (including towels and bedding, dishes and hygiene kits) to previously homeless individuals making a fresh start in permanent supportive housing.
