About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to engage Christian faith communities in ending family homelessness through neighboring relationships that demonstrate Christ's love. This is done through a three-way partnership between the family facing homelessness, a professional case-manager and a group of Neighboring Volunteers from a local church to provide tangible support, encouragement and social capital.
