By befriending people in need and connecting on a human level, we gain trust and discover the root cause of their homelessness. We then share resources to help them regain self-sufficiency.
Homelessness can strip away dignity and self-respect. We help those in homelessness see it as a temporary stop and work to restore their confidence and self-worth.
We equip the homeless with resources and skills to regain their independence and function in society. Our programs provide training, transportation, and resources to secure permanent housing.
