Who We Are
We are a passionate team who believe homelessness should not define the future of adults living on the streets, but instead informs their next decision to create a different path. This path begins with the choice to change their mindset, focus on recovery and resilience.
We are committed to supporting a person for as long as it takes to achieve the highest possible level of self-sufficiency.
Our Board of Directors and staff have direct personal experience with addiction recovery, homelessness, and supporting individuals in discovering new pathways to maintain momentum in improving their lives.
We believe in the perseverance, resilience, and capacity of the human spirit to overcome any challenge. This is possible when there is a community of support who will always believe in the potential for life-long fulfillment of joy and hope.
