"Where Hope Finds a Home"

Each year, the Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless gathers community leaders, partners, and supporters for an evening dedicated to hope, compassion, and action.
​
Our annual Gala celebrates the progress we have made together while raising critical support to ensure that individuals and families experiencing homelessness can find stability, dignity, and a place to call home.
​
The 2026 theme, “Where Hope Finds a Home,” reflects the heart of our mission: creating pathways from homelessness to housing through community, advocacy, and care.
The Elizabeth Coalition Gala is more than a celebration. It is a powerful moment when our community comes together to support neighbors facing housing instability.
 
Funds raised through the Gala help sustain vital programs including street outreach, housing placement, family support services, and emergency assistance for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
 
“Where Hope Finds a Home” represents the belief that every person deserves safety, stability, and dignity.
For many individuals and families, hope begins the moment someone reaches out with support. Through outreach, housing advocacy, and community partnerships, the Elizabeth Coalition works every day to turn hope into lasting housing solutions.
