Our Philosophy
Empower individuals to act with self-determination.
Our Mission
We respond immediately to stop the cycle of domestic
violence and homelessness and connect families and
individuals to crucial resources that empower them to renew
their lives.
Our Values
Hope: Inspire confidence in a brighter future
Integrity: Act with honesty and accountability
Respect: Give compassion and regard to all
Empowerment: Embrace personal strengths to make life-changing decisions
Excellence: Seek professional development and practice on-going improvement
Today we continue to strengthen the lives of more than 5,000 people, connecting them to 18,000 services annually, thanks to our generous donors.
We solve homelessness for 99% of the families and individuals who graduate from our housing programs and we prevent thousands from experiencing homelessness each year. We keep people safe in our Journey Programs serving women and children fleeing from domestic violence.
