Mission: We believe that homelessness is a community issue that is primarily the result of social and economic influences that are community issues. We further believe that all members of the community should have access to clean, safe, and secure housing at affordable costs. Having these beliefs, we exist to end homelessness in our community. We carry our our mission by providing direct services, promote homeless prevention, educate the community, facilitate collaborative community activities to address the problems of homelessness and poverty and advocate for the social and economic changes necessary to make ending homelessness a reality.
