Who We Are

Mission

Transforming the lives of families with children in Hawaiʻi facing homelessness by providing housing, resources, and support.

​

Our Vision 

An Oʻahu where vulnerable families have equitable access to housing.

 

Theory of Change

When we utilize family-centered strategies and mobilize community support, we competently and effectively increase equitable access to housing for Hawaiʻi's vulnerable families.

Our Core Values

Dignity and Worth of All Persons

We treat all people in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences, and cultural and ethnic diversity. We promote families'  self-determination. We seek to enhance families' capacity and opportunity to change and address their own needs.

​

Hospitality

We welcome families with empathy and respect. 

​

Housing Focused

Our programs are focused on identifying permanent housing resources so that families can move as quickly as possible to sustainable independence. 

​

Low Barriers

We believe every family deserves a home and therefore accept families as they are. 

 

Collaboration

Our community is strong. We collaborate with existing community resources (faith-based congregations, partner agencies, volunteers) to fulfill our mission of helping families achieve sustainable independence by cultivating meaningful social connections.  

 

Trauma-Informed 

We recognize that many families experiencing housing instability have also experienced trauma. Our services provide emotional and physical safety.  

​

Anti-Racist

We are committed to advancing diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice.  We work to continuously increase awareness of racial injustice and are dedicated to fighting against racism.
