What We Do
Simply put: We help people move from crisis to stability.
In partnership with caregivers, advocates, donors and our neighbors without homes, we
- provide comprehensive health care services and supportive services to people experiencing homelessness
- apply a whole-person approach to care, considering all aspects of life and health in an individual's treatment
- advocate for affordable housing and livable incomes for all
In 2023, more than 11,000 individuals and families got care and support to move toward better health and stability.
Many thousands more need our help.
