Short Program Overview

 


We are a Housing First model. This is a core component of our program, and everyone in our program has some type of housing. Our belief is that everyone needs a safe place to call home, and that is a prerequisite to stabilization and subsequent moving to self-sufficiency. Housing is the first step, and it is a part of our program.

Earning a paycheck is a fundamental requirement to being self-sufficient. Without a job, it’s clearly not possible to maintain housing in the long term. Therefore, we are work focused, and all participants in our program must be READY, WILLING and ABLE to Work. Applicants have to be Prepared for the Program, Willing to Commit and Able to Participate.

Mental Health is a core component of our program. If you are not self-sufficient, you need mental health services.

It’s that simple. Imagine you don’t have housing. Many without housing do actually have a job, but it’s a major struggle to keep it. Either way, without housing, there’s a lot of stress! Not knowing where your next meal is – that’s anxiety inducing.

Mission

Our mission is to help people return to independent living and be self-sufficient. The HWH model is partner based and encompasses housing, mental health services, workforce training and employment.

This supportive structure and services helps people stabilize, develop a support network, become trained, gain experience, get a job, secure independent housing and ultimately become self-sufficient.

How We Can Help

Self Sufficiency is the Answer
Here’s a fact about homelessness: most people who find themselves living on the streets experience homelessness as a temporary situation. They experience instability due to economic fluctuations, health issues,  or any of a number of other circumstances. Self-sufficiency breaks the cycle, and enables people the opportunity to restart their lives

Homelessness is OUR Problem
The solution to homelessness is complex. It requires the best efforts of government, religious organizations, foundations, businesses, nonprofits and individuals. Homelessness is OUR Problem. All of us.
