Resolving
and preventing homelessness.

Right now, dozens of people in our community have no place to live—including adults who go to work every day and kids who go to school.

Stories

Some of our clients are not able to work due to crisis or disability. Some clients are professionals with college degrees who’ve hit hard times. Many clients are working or underemployed at minimum wage, struggling to support themselves or their families.
