In 2001 over 3 million men, women, and children experienced homelessness.

- National Center on Homelessness and Poverty, 2002.

• Since our program started in 1989 we have served 311 familes and 957 individuals of which 627 were children.
• 87% of our families move into permanent housing. The average stay in transitional housing is 14 months.
• We credit our success to a low case manager to family ratio.  Our ratio is 1 to 11.

We are proud of our success but continue to strive to meet the growing needs of our community.

• For each family served we turn 7 away.
