The HOME Center (Homeless Outreach, Mitigation and Emergency Center) is a nonprofit organization that unites community efforts to comprehensively prevent and address homelessness and educate the community about it as an issue. The HOME Center prioritizes finding permanent housing in order to break the cycle of homelessness.
As a Housing First Project, HOME Center ensures individuals and families receive assistance with obtaining housing first. Housing is central to ensuring households are stable and can be successful when seeking employment opportunities, medical assistance, mental health services, drug/alcohol dependency resources and other supportive services that will ensure households remain in stable permanent housing.
