LEARN ABOUT FRIENDS ASSOCIATION
Real solutions are as complex as the families who experience homelessness. But if we truly want to end family homelessness in our communities, we must learn from and value the families themselves-the power and agency lie within the families themselves-and we must take the time to create real solutions for real families.
Friends Association’s Housing First model of service delivery recognizes that people experiencing homelessness-like all people- need the safety and stability of a home in order to best address challenges and pursue opportunities.
Homes are the anchor for family life, and the quality of one’s housing is an important determinant of health and economic outcomes.
Whether it’s maintaining their home or connecting a family back to home as quickly as possible, Friends provides the safety net while working within our community to connect people to the supportive services they may need to be stable and secure.
