Formerly Homeless Foundation

Fomerly Homeless
The Formerly Homeless Foundation is a 501c3 non profit with a mission of helping those that experience chronic homelessness through:

• Advocacy
• Affordable Housing Development
• Community Outreach
• Rental and down-payment assistance
• The connection of resources

The public perception of homelessness is significantly skewed by the proliferation of pan handlers in our markets. We strive to shine a light on the reality that the vast majority of those that experience homelessness in the US go unseen. They are women and children fleeing domestic violence. They are people working two jobs and living out of their car or couch surfing with friends and family. We believe that by telling the stories of those we help house, we will help change how people feel about those that are homeless and create a desire for them to lend a helping hand. 

Through our partners in affordable housing development we have been able to eradicate veteran homelessness in Akron, OH. With the opening of our second permanent supportive housing development in Akron, veteran Homelessness reached functional zero for the first time. This means that every Vet that wants housing is either housed or has a plan to move into housing. 

Through community events, we create opportunities for adults and children to easily participate in giving back to those less fortunate.
Our efforts are made possible by charitable donations, philanthropic gifts and fundraising

Testa Family Foundation

Fomerly Homeless
For over 50 years the Testa Family and our related companies have embraced the need to give back to the communities we live, work and play in. With a special focus on healthcare, we strive to support those that improve the quality of life for our current and future generations. Investing in the future and developing a legacy is just one of our many passions.  

Through our Operation Dreams Come True program, we have pulled together community resources to help build additions, remodel and even build new homes from the ground up for those in need. 

To date the Testa Family has been fortunate enough to donated more than $18 million dollars to causes and organizations that are near and dear to our hearts.
