Project Home
The vision of project H.O.M.E is "None of us are home until all of us are home." This statement really exemplifies the true mission of Project H.O.M.E. Project H.O.M.E works toward ending worldwide homelessness. Project H.O.M.E works for justice by ensuring that everyone has a place to call home. In addition to a physical house, project H.O.M.E gives homeless men, women, and children health care and addiction counseling.Project H.O.M.E also provides works of charity such as food from their cafe or clothes from their thrift store; however, even their acts of charity work toward justice because they provide more than temporary fixes.
Project H.O.M.E offers many different programs to help people get back on their feet. They are unlike most shelters because they offer more than a place to sleep and a couple of meals. Project H.O.M.E focuses on ending homelessness. In order to accomplish this, they help people from start to finish. They offer entry level to permanent, affordable housing. They also treat homeless people with addiction and/or mental illnesses. Project H.O.M.E also offers job training and hires homeless men and women to work at its cafe and thrift store. All of these aspects allow homeless men, women, and children to break out of the cycle of homelessness and become self sufficient. I think there most important program is job training. By offering job training and jobs, project H.O.M.E teaches people to become self-sufficient. It offers these people opportunities they didn't have before. It also gives homeless people a sense of empowerment and confidence because they are earning their money and supporting themselves. This confidence is essential to creating a better future for themselves. Project H.O.M.E is truly working for justice
