Our Approach.
Our institutions have been designed to provide services in ways that increasingly don’t match up with how the world really works. Operating under an increased sense of scarcity, organizations are often forced to limit access to the resources they’re meant to provide, increasing risk and creating isolation across our city. Oftentimes, when someone experiences a crisis, the services from a single organization cannot address the need. And accessing multiple resources at once is a process shot through with difficulties. From filling out the right paperwork, maintaining access to a smart phone and internet, finding reliable transportation, feeding a family, or simply juggling the challenges of caring for children or the elderly, there’s seemingly an endless list of things a person might need to prevent a crisis from turning into a catastrophe. We know this intimately.
Our Values.
Values only matter when they guide our actions… As such you can read ours as expectations.
Every person deserves to have their fundamental human needs met and be treated with unconditional positive regard.
No one should have to navigate life’s challenges alone - we all need community
Everyone has a story worth hearing and the most valuable knowledge is always shared.
Trauma shapes and informs us, but human connection heals and transforms us.
Our Vision.
A world in which every person has someone they can turn to for nonjudgmental support, access to the resources necessary for human flourishing, social connection, and compassionate advocacy.
