Our vision statement is envisioning a community where no child is homeless. Over the past 5 years, 68 children and 35adults have been hosted by local congregations that provided food and shelter for our guests. In 2022, another 267 families (including 406 adults and 617 children) have been spared the trauma of homelessness through our Family HOPE (Housing Opportunities to Prevent Evictions) prevention program. We have provided assistance (e.g. food, clothing, diapers, emergency help) to over 100 families and provided referrals to about 500 more.
