Intentions Make the Difference
We invite great minds to connect
Recovery from homelessness requires a community effort. That’s why we invite community leaders and great guests that bring a fresh set of ears, and a fresh set of ideas. We listen to and tell stories that everyone can learn from. Knowledge is power, and it’s important that we share it.
life after homelessness is still hard
We bring our best effort for the men that go through our shelter. That doesn’t mean that life suddenly gets easy when you’re done. We periodically write articles on how to stay out of homelessness before and after it happens. Learn more as we share our insight from decades of struggle.
