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:
- Move to next step housing
- Have income adequate to support next-step housing
- 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
