We are not a provider of direct services—though we partner with organizations that do and help them deliver those services more effectively. We are not, strictly speaking, an advocacy group nor are we a lobbying organization.

That leaves us to define what we are—and why we feel that this is the space to occupy. We are somewhere in the middle of those three types of organizations. This enables us to push for systemic change without reinventing the wheel.

By working with these organizations, we are able to leverage their institutional knowledge and relationships into real, sustainable, systemic change—helping them get closer to achieving their vision as we work to achieve ours.

These partnerships allow both organizations to make the best use of our limited resources as we work towards our common goals of helping people out of homelessness, housing insecurity, and poverty and into fulfilling, safe, healthy lives.

Additionally, we work with people from all walks of life to make sure that the paths to homelessness are avoidable. Obviously, our work to get people into stable housing and offer them supportive services is vital and life-saving, but if we can help people avoid housing insecurity or homelessness, we can prevent trauma and protect their rights.

To do this, we rely on your support. Consider getting involved in some capacity today—whatever capacity that is, we need you.
