WHAT WE DO:

​

Supporting Our Community Since 2000

Since 2000, we’ve been dedicated to uplifting and stabilizing families in our community through holistic, compassionate, and practical support. Our work centers on creating safe, stable, and dignified paths forward for individuals and families facing housing insecurity, legal barriers, and generational hardship. Here’s how we help:

​

Safe Housing & Stability

• We provide access to safe housing for survivors of violence, helping families escape dangerous situations with dignity.

• We cover storage costs for families facing eviction so they don’t lose their possessions and can avoid starting over from scratch.

• We support eviction prevention advocacy and work to establish second-chance housing solutions, including advocating for reduced repayment plans.

Family Support & Navigation

• We guide overwhelmed parents through complex legal, family, and housing systems, ensuring they have plans that keep their children safe and housed.

• We train parent co-facilitators with lived experience to mentor families transitioning from unstable situations (such as sofa-surfing, hotels, or shelters) into more permanent housing.

• We keep families housed during the holiday season, providing not just stability, but gifts, bill support, and rental assistance to ensure children remain emotionally and academically grounded.

Mindset, Healing & Conflict Resolution

• We help parents shift their mindset toward resilience and peaceful solutions when facing conflict or crisis.

• We offer classes for both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence to ensure safer transitions and long-term healing within families.

Justice-Involved Family Support

• We assist parents faced with incarceration the support to navigate the legal and family transition plans for children, caregivers in place prior to any justice impact possibilites.

• We assist incarcerated parents—especially those jailed for non-violent offenses—with release options,  helping them reunite with their children before the system threatens their parental rights.

• We support individuals impacted by incarceration with reentry services, which starts from the time they are incarcerated and that incarceratio impacts children or caregivers who also become eligible for supports and that lasts until they return home during reentry.  Our supports helps them overcome life barriers and transform some of their employment experiences into business ownership or independent contractors—many of whom go on to contract back with former employers.

Empowerment Through Shared Experience

• We share our lived experience, energy, and lessons to help individuals break through feelings of being stuck and begin building new paths toward a stable, self-determined future.
