THE VISION OF FAMILY HOMESTEAD IS TO ASSIST HOMELESS FAMILIES TO OVERCOME THE SPECIFIC CRISIS OF HOMELESSNESS AND RE-STABILIZE AT A LEVEL OF FUNCTIONING OPTIMAL FOR THEM

OUR MISSION

75% of the families who complete our program will:

  1. Move to next step housing
  2. Have income adequate to support next-step housing
  3. Effectively address the underlying causes that led to their homelessness as identified in their case plan

CORE VALUES

  • Traditional shelters are not appropriate places for most families with children
  • Social Services and housing are of equal value and importance to families who are homeless
  • The most important determinant of outcome is what the family brings to the situation
  • Our focus is on assisting families to achieve realistic outcomes, not on individual or societal transformation
  • Active participation by the client is necessary and required
