Vision

A community where homelessness is rare, short lived, and recoverable.

We envision a future where no Hoosier family spends a single night without shelter — where every family experiencing homelessness is placed into safe housing the same day they lose their home.

Our Values

We believe deeply in all of the following, and these guide how we pursue our mission and vision:

Interfaith Cooperation

Faith inspires us, service unites us. Despite different beliefs, we come together with one purpose: to support others, guided by faith without proselytization.

Keeping Families Together

We believe families should stay together—not be separated—during the most difficult times in their lives…no matter the makeup of a family.

Changing Lives

While we will provide assistance to meet emergency needs, it is more important that we provide access to skills development, resources, and networks to create lasting stability

Hospitality

Our generosity goes beyond material support — we offer our time, presence, and kindness. A heartfelt welcome and dignified service can transform hopelessness into hope.

Good Stewardship

Good Stewardship means responsibly managing all the resources entrusted to us—with care, transparency, and purpose—to fulfill our mission of preventing and ending family homelessness in our community.

Raising Awareness

At the heart of homelessness is poverty, and behind poverty are systems that don’t work for everyone. We believe true change requires not only offering support but also challenging the systems that create the need for it.
