About Fall for Lucy’s Hearth
Fall for Lucy’s Hearth is our signature fundraising event. It brings together corporate, government, and philanthropic leaders to address one of our state’s most pressing issues, the creation of more sustainable housing opportunities for families in Rhode Island.
Like last year, this year’s event will be presented in a virtual format due to uncertainties caused by the ongoing pandemic. Join us on November 10th at 5:30 pm on this page as we raise critical funds for the organization. The virtual program will feature videos as well as live content to engage with all in attendance.

Our Housing Heroes
Are being recognized for their tireless efforts in supporting the needs of Rhode Islanders seeking safe & affordable housing. Their efforts have been especially impactful to the families we serve during these unprecedented times.
As Rhode Island manages the housing crisis, we are grateful to these individuals for being stalwart supporters of legislation that made the first-ever dedicated funding stream for affordable housing in our state’s history, preventing housing discrimination for those with lawful sources of income and advocating for an eviction moratorium in Rhode Island.
