A Pawsitive Impact: Annual Named Sponsor of the HFF Facility Dog Program – $15,000
Be a pioneer in supporting our innovative Facility Dog Program, the first of its kind in Ohio for a housing organization such as ours! In partnership with Canine Companions, this program positions HFF as a leader in trauma-informed care approaches for families and youth facing homelessness. For 20 hours each week, Tatum provides therapeutic comfort, anxiety reduction, and a sense of security to individuals navigating the trauma of displacement and instability of both episodic and chronic homelessness during client visits and intakes. Your generous contribution will offset a portion of the annual operational costs associated with our dual-handler program, ensuring the best care of our four-legged client advocate.
Canine Care - $3,000
Offsetting routine care, heartworm, flea & tick medication, and annual veterinary costs for Tatum helps her to be at her best in her crucial role of supporting families and children experiencing housing instability. Tatum works hard to help reduce anxiety, foster trust, improve client motivation, and create a calming environment, facilitating healing and emotional resilience in these vulnerable families. Ensuring that Tatum remains healthy and able to perform in her therapeutic role is vital to the ongoing success of our trauma-informed care approach.
Full Bowls for a Year - $750
