Focus Areas
Prevention
Early intervention through counseling, mediation, and cash assistance prevents a minor setback from becoming a major housing crisis
Moving Beyond
Homelessness
As people transition back into stable housing, access to education, employment, and other support programs promote long-term housing and economic stability.
Shelter & Safety Net
For people experiencing homelessness, emergency shelter is critical while safety net programs provide ongoing assistance to help move back into housing.
Public Ed
& Advocacy
Underlying our work is the fundamental task of learning from the experiences of those we serve, and then educating, building coalitions, and shaping policy to reduce causes of homelessness.
