A Home for New Beginnings

Safe housing, work, and a second chance — in our neighborhood.

At Home we offer safe shelter, job training through our thrift store, and caring community to people rebuilding after addiction. Your gift provides housing, work opportunities, and steady mentorship so neighbors can rebuild dignity and stability.

How Lives Change

When someone walks through our doors they find a furnished room, a counselor to set personal goals, and paid work stocking and running our thrift store. Small gifts cover rent, life coaching, and job-focused classes that stop cycles of homelessness and isolation.

A Store That Gives Back

Our thrift store is a training ground and a revenue stream. Donations are turned into affordable goods for neighbors and on-the-job learning for residents — from sales floor to bookkeeping — creating real pathways to employment.

Job Training Onsite

Residents learn pricing, customer service, and inventory systems while earning a modest paycheck. Donors fund training supervisors and starter kits so learning converts directly into marketable skills.

How It Works

Three steps from arrival to independence

1. Safe Arrival

A resident receives a private room, a warm meal, and a case manager who builds a short-term plan focused on recovery, stability, and next steps.

2. Earn & Learn

Paid shifts at the thrift store teach retail operations, financial basics, and resume-ready skills while building confidence through achievable responsibilities.

3. Move Forward

Graduates transition to independent housing with job referrals, continued mentorship, and small business partnerships that help lasting employment.

A Neighbor's Story

“I came with nothing and left with a job and an apartment. The store taught me skills and gave me respect. Donors made that possible — they changed my life.”
