Our mission is to remove the upfront financial barriers that keep people trapped in homelessness, pair people with supportive services, and move them into stable, permanent housing.
People are quick to judge, but 90% of the people we serve are already working. They can afford the monthly rent. They just need help with that first step.
After two years, we have housed 311 people, including 163 children. 97% are still stably housed one year later.
