St. Johns housing partnership looking to benefit from giving day 2025

ST. AUGUSTINE – The St. Johns Housing Partnership (SJHP), helping people live safer, healthier and independently with dignity, is one of the local nonprofits looking to benefit from this week’s Giving Day, May 7-8.

Giving Day 2025 is a 24-hour online giving event designed to empower every person to give back to their local community by supporting local nonprofits and the causes they care about.

Founded in 1998, the St. Johns Housing Partnership is committed to developing and preserving quality housing while providing support for residents with low and moderate incomes, the elderly, disabled and Veterans.

SJHP is striving to redefine affordable housing by advocating for those with low incomes, the elderly, disabled and Veterans severely impacted by the absence of affordable housing or can’t afford to repair their home to make it livable and healthy.

SJHP works tirelessly to ensure every person has a safe, clean, affordable place to live.

“Housing is the reason we exist and the reason we show up every single day. We know that you cannot build a life without a safe and affordable home,” said SJHP Executive Director Bill Lazar.

Since its inception in 2019, this event grew from an idea to help local people give wisely, to a movement that has inspired a broad culture of community-wide giving. During Giving Day 2025, everyone can be a philanthropist; every dollar will make a difference.

Giving Day 2025 is made possible through a unique partnership — hosted by the John 1:16 Foundation and sponsored by Endless Summer Realty (ESR) and The FOCUS Group (TFG).

Giving Day is a 24-hour online donation drive from May 7- May 8 – 12 p.m. -12 p.m.. Donate or learn more at https://www.sjhp.org/.
