The Foundation seeks to address the barriers that prevent homeless and low-income people from becoming self-sufficient. We support organizations that help individuals and families overcome these obstacles and attain stable employment and safe, secure housing. Programs that receive support include supportive transitional and permanent housing providers, vocational training and placement, substance abuse treatment and recovery, health care and mental health services, childcare, access to public benefits, emergency rent and utility assistance, case management, and legal representation. Priority is given to comprehensive programs that provide a continuum of services to help homeless, low-income and at-risk individuals and families attain stable employment, safe and secure housing, and self-sufficiency.
The Foundation also supports low-barrier services such as feeding programs and temporary shelters that provide basic services for the street homeless, the chronically mentally ill, and the most vulnerable members of our community.
