To empower, awaken and restore hope to children, young adults and their families. With an emphasis on minors, who are runaway, homeless and/or unstably housed, and children that are victims of human trafficking.  We honor dignity in every person who seeks comfort, support or assistance through our programs. In addition, we provide short-term emergency shelter, mentoring, case management and other supportive services that help individuals return to a productive and meaningful life.

We live out our mission through our direct service programs, volunteer efforts and community education. When possible, we participate in advocacy efforts for resources for our members and residents, legislate for laws to protect marginalized people and inform policies that affect funding and regulations for programs serving very poor and traumatized people.

We believe the community can provide an effective means of intervening and preventing poverty, homelessness and unresolved trauma in the United States by building stronger communities by creating solutions that educate the public, restore hope, and provide help to children, young adults and their families that help them to attain safe, affordable housing, meaningful life activity and a livable income so that they may return to a productive and meaningful life.
