Companionship is a model of walking alongside an individual experiencing difficult life events, offering the gifts of time and presence. Through companionship, respect and empathy are shared, trust and care are developed, and community is fostered. Most residents of our housing are affected by mental health issues, have experienced periods of homelessness, continue to overcome poverty, and are seeking to strengthen their stability and recovery. Our goal is to cultivate a community of healing with residents, forming supportive relationships that honor the well-being, self-determination, and dignity of all.
