Mission & Purpose-Driven
Our mission is to provide life-sustaining resources, services, and support to assist homeless seniors on their path to housing and supportive services to help prevent seniors entering homelessness.
Recognizing that not all seniors will return to housing due to circumstances beyond their control, the Center will continue to serve, support, and be the trusted resource for those individuals as long as needed.
All programs, fundraising, partnerships, and activities are in support of the mission.
