PARAM (Philadelphia Rajasthani Mandal) proudly congratulates Shri Nand Todi ji, the Todi Foundation, and the community leaders of Montgomery County on the successful opening of Todi’s Place of Hope, a new short-term supportive housing facility in Lansdale.
This 20-bed, year-round facility represents a major milestone in addressing homelessness in Montgomery County. Operated by Resources for Human Development (RHD), the center will provide transitional housing along with comprehensive wraparound services, including behavioral health support, employment resources, and housing placement assistance.
PARAM especially recognizes the extraordinary philanthropic leadership of Shri Nand and Shashi Todi ji, whose $1 million contribution through the Todi Foundation made this project possible. Their generosity reflects the highest values of seva (selfless service), compassion, and community responsibility.
Beyond their support in the United States, the Todi family’s commitment to humanitarian service extends internationally. They have also established educational and charitable institutions in Jaipur, and Nand Bhawan and Shashi Bhawan in Apna Ghar Ashram in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India, as well as additional initiatives under Apna Ghar dedicated to serving homeless, vulnerable and underprivileged communities. These efforts further demonstrate their enduring dedication to social upliftment and community care across borders.
This initiative aligns deeply with PARAM’s mission of community upliftment, cultural unity, and humanitarian service. As an organization rooted in Rajasthani heritage and dedicated to strengthening our broader American community, we are proud to see members of our extended community contributing meaningfully to the welfare of Montgomery County residents.
Todi’s Place of Hope is more than a shelter — it is a symbol of dignity, stability, and renewed opportunity for individuals seeking a path forward.
PARAM extends heartfelt congratulations to the Montgomery County Commissioners, local officials, RHD, and all partners involved in bringing this vision to reality.
Together, we continue building stronger communities.
