Our Focus
Homelessness disproportionately affects domestic violence survivors, displaced veterans, and those battling addiction. Shockingly, over half of homeless women cite domestic violence as a primary cause. Veterans experience homelessness at a higher rate than the general public. Tragically, individuals struggling with recovery are far more likely to become incarcerated or lose their lives due to substance use. We address this crisis by connecting compassionate local companies with these vulnerable populations, empowering businesses to become catalysts for positive change.
