Why should I donate to St. Francis Manor?

No one wants to think of a grandparent becoming homeless. To prevent that, we provide safe, comfortable, low-cost housing for 130+ seniors.

The Fair Market Rental in Indian River County for an efficiency apartment is $845; for a one-bedroom it's $1048. If a senior is living on Social Security and getting a check for $1100/month, paying the market rate of $845 leaves the senior $255.00. That means the senior has about $64/ week or $9/day for everything else: food, medicine, clothes.

The Manor charges a median of $380/month for a studio. That leaves the senior with the greater margin of $720 for everything else.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Your donation will enable us to keep our rents below market so our seniors can live above poverty.

 

St. Francis Manor is a 501c3 charitable organization.  We rely on your donations to assist us in improving the lives of our limited income seniors.  We sincerely appreciate your gift!
