We believe that our role as a supportive housing provider is not just to welcome people home but also to strive for equity and inclusion.

We believe that by eliminating barriers to our housing, treating people with dignity, and being true to harm reduction principles we can provide a space for healing from the trauma of racism & white supremacy.

We believe that by demanding fair & equitable wages for workers, providing solid benefits, systematizing self-care, and creating opportunities for staff engagement & advancement we can enhance the strength of our amazing team
