A Message From Gina Gomez

💙 Help Me Illuminate a Path Forward for Northwest Indiana 💙 I grew up in East Chicago, and Northwest Indiana has always been home. For 27 years, I’ve had the honor of serving this community through CoAction and today I’m proud to serve as Senior Director of Crisis Navigation, working alongside a passionate team that supports seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and families across NWI. One client I’ll never forget is a young mother who came to us while living in her car after fleeing abuse. With the help of our team, she and her child moved into safe housing and began rebuilding their lives. That’s the difference your support makes. CoAction envisions the people of Northwest Indiana flourishing regardless of income, ability, or age. Our mission is simple: People experiencing hardship find opportunities, resources, and respect at CoAction. And at our core value is just as clear, we care about everybody. This season, I’m asking my friends and family to consider supporting housing stability in any amount that feels right. Here’s how your gift can help: 🏠 Choose Your Impact: Housing Stability • $25 helps with move-in basics like towels, cleaning supplies or food for a newly housed family • $50 helps with application fees, ID replacement or transportation to secure housing • $75 supports emergency utilities or short-term lodging to prevent homelessness • $100 helps with utility or security deposits for someone moving into stable housing • $250 contributes toward first month’s rent for a household in crisis • $500+ helps stabilize a family with rent, utilities, and basic household needs during a housing emergency 🎯 My goal is $1,000 and I’d love for you to be part of it. Please share this with your friends and feel free to introduce me as your friend or family, that connection helps more than you know. Thank you for believing in this mission and the community we love. With love, Gina #IlluminateAPathForward #TogetherWeCoAct #CoAction

In Support of CoAction

Poverty affects all aspects of a person’s life, but poverty does not define a person.

CoAction is a safe place for everyone to be who they are, a place where economic status is not the defining aspect of a person and where individuals and families can move from surviving to flourishing.

Through services like rent and utility assistance, resource centers, shelters, and nutrition programs, provide resources that help people meet their basic needs and stabilize their situations.

Through programs like affordable rentals, permanent supportive housing, senior centers, and matched savings accounts, offer opportunities for people to have places to live, places to connect, and means to improve their lives.

At CoAction, we care about everyone.
