OUR END VISION IS TO OFFER HOPE TO THE CITY'S LESS FORTUNATE AND HOMELESS POPULATION BY PROVIDING THE SKILLS NEEDED TO BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT. BY SHARING OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WE GAIN THEIR CONFIDENCE. WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE IS THE FACT THAT WE MEET EACH PERSON HASSLE-FREE AND WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. BEING HOMELESS IS A SITUATION, NOT AN IDENTITY. WE COMMUNICATE WITH EACH CLIENT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. WE LISTEN TO THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS. WE WALK THEM THROUGH A SYSTEM OF SETTING GOALS BASED ON THEIR STRENGTHS AND INTERESTS. WE CALL THIS OUR "PIE SYSTEM". EACH TIME AN INDIVIDUAL CLIENT SETS A GOAL, WE HELP THEM TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOAL BY A SERIES OF SMALLER GOALS WE CALL "PIE SLICES". THIS HELPS THE INDIVIUAL GAIN SELF-ESTEEM AND MOTIVATION. WE ARE ONE OF THE VERY FEW THAT TREAT THE DISEASE AND NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS. "IF YOU PUT A BAND-AID OVER THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS".
