Core Values:

•Every individual has worth and human dignity and deserves

the basic provision of shelter as a necessity of life.
•Most homeless people do not want to be homeless and will
respond with self-initiative to improve themselves if given the
opportunity.
•We, as citizens of this nation, have a civic and moral
responsibility to better the lives of others by sharing with
others the gifts and talents we possess.

Vision:
Is to be a vital force in eliminating homelessness.
