Round Up to End Homelessness



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 read all of the instructions in the table below.
