Our Mission

To prevent and end homelessness for families with children in the communities we serve through housing, resources and opportunity.

Our Vision

Every family has a safe and affordable place to call home, where parents and children thrive in school, at work and in their community and can achieve their goals and dreams.

Our Values

• Person-Centered
• We are responsive to all we serve: participants, partners, the community and one another. We design our programs with the individual at the core, acknowledging their strengths and working to identify the best path for their family’s success.

• Equity, Inclusion & Access
• We acknowledge systemic racism, classism and other forms of discrimination as primary causes of the affordable housing crisis and homelessness. We work to right these wrongs as a housing and service provider by engaging respectfully with our program participants, our employees and our community.

• Integrity
• We build trust with others, act with transparency and hold ourselves to the highest standards in all we do.

• Community
• We believe that safe, stable and affordable housing is the foundation of healthy, successful families and thriving communities.
