We empower individuals to re-enter the workforce and connect individuals to the resources needed to be as self-sufficient as possible while providing a safe\, temporary shelter during extreme weather.\n\nIn 2009\, a group of faith-based leaders came together when they recognized there was a population of homeless adults in our area who did not qualify for admission to other local shelter programs due to barriers.
