By authorizing CWLP to round up your bill to the nearest dollar each
month—or
to add a specified dollar amount to each monthly bill—you can make regular donations to programs that help
ease homelessness in Springfield.All
donations, minus program administrative costs, are placed
in a special
account. A seven-person committee, appointed by the Mayor,
will advise the City's Director of Office of Planning and Economic
Development (OPED) regarding
how the funds should be distributed to fund programs that service
the episodically
and chronically homeless. Programs selected to receive funds must
have demonstrated the ability to effectively reduce homeless.
The Director of OPED will recommend to the City
Council how the funds should
be distributed and the City Council will have final authority to
approve or modify these recommendations.
An online donation form makes it easy for
you to contribute to the Round Up
to End Homelessness. Before opening the form, please carefully
