The mission of HEARTH, an acronym for Homelessness Ends with Advocacy, Resources, Training, and Housing, is to provide a progression of supportive services and housing that empowers families to become independent, self-sufficient and adequately housed and to foster low income housing opportunities to prevent homelessness and encourage safe, affordable housing. Through our transitional housing program, and HEARTH at Benet Woods, our new permanent affordable housing development, HEARTH helps families in crisis regain their sense of independence, self-worth, and job-readiness skills for today's business environment.
