Helping people with disabilities

We believe in providing a place where people can recover from serious illness and injury, address their challenges, and work with case managers to access a variety of services, opportunities and education.
Overall, about 20% of people experiencing homelessness have chronic disabling conditions that make immediate full-time employment unrealistic. However, our mission is always to help people realize their full potential through a range of programs, including connection to job training.
Once people have an opportunity to heal, they may be able to overcome previous barriers to self-sufficiency. In fact, between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, just over half of the individuals in our various housing programs were able to increase their income.
For our longest housing programs, participants must have a documented disability and have been literally homeless (on the streets, in shelters, in their cars or in the woods) for at least a year. They must also work with a case manager to participate in a housing plan. Because the need is so great, and the consequences of remaining unsheltered so dire, these are the people currently prioritized for help first.
