A foundation to ending homelessness
Stable housing transforms lives. This philosophy drives our programs and initiatives, guiding our strategies to create more stable housing opportunities with the support of community partners.
Housing + Services = Housing First
Housing First focuses on the question: “What do you need right now to end your homelessness, and how can we work together to get you housed?”
The most effective way to end homelessness is to provide permanent housing paired with supportive services. People need basic necessities—like food and a stable home—before they can focus on other priorities such as mental health care, employment, or substance use treatment.
Housing First is a nationally proven model. It emphasizes personal choice in housing and support services, empowering individuals to regain control of their lives. Research from the National Alliance to End Homelessness shows that when people have choice, they are more likely to stay housed and make lasting improvements in their lives.
