With VOA’s help, individuals and families become stabilized in permanent housing, obtain gainful employment, and develop more self-sufficient lives.
Any person can become homeless at any given moment. VOA believes the key to addressing the needs families and individuals experiencing homelessness is through a continuum of care with housing programs combined with supportive services that include case management, life skills training, job search assistance, and access to mental, physical, and behavioral health services.
As a result, people are given a safe place without judgement where they can come in from the cold, but a place where they can recover from the crisis in their lives with the tools necessary to rise out of poverty and begin to rebuild.
