2026 Resolution Ideas:

1. Build a donation habit.

2. Start volunteering.
Give your time and talents to uplift families and individuals on their journey from crisis to stability. Volunteers have been at the heart of Hope Solutions since day one. You can share your unique gifts with others by providing after school support, sharing a meal with your community, helping with resident move-ins and more! Check all of it out here.

3. Support your community.
One meaningful resolution for 2026 is to support your community by building understanding and standing up for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Start by learning about the root causes of homelessness, the barriers people face, and effective solutions like Housing First and affordable housing initiatives. Share what you learn with your friends and families to help others see the issue with clarity and compassion, correcting misconceptions and fostering empathy. Above all, remember that people experiencing homelessness are our neighbors — each with a story, a history, and hopes for the future — and that true community is built through care, respect, and connection.

4. Learn more about affordable housing.
Understanding the challenges behind the housing crisis is the first step to solving it. Across the country recent federal proposals to cut funding for affordable housing programs and weaken fair housing protections threaten the progress made toward stable homes for all. These policies have real local impacts, slowing new developments and reducing support for families in need. By staying informed about how national decisions shape our community, we can better advocate for strong, compassionate housing policies. Follow Hope Solutions on social media, stay up-to-date on the news, and explore stories that show how housing-first solutions create lasting change.

Together, these resolutions can turn good intentions into hopeful action. Let’s make 2026 the year we all commit to creating homes, stability, and bright futures—one resolution at a time!
