Our Mission
We are committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness by providing men with the resources, structure, and support they need to achieve lasting self-sufficiency. We recognize that stability, accountability, and hope are essential in this journey. Our mission is to empower men to rebuild their lives, regain their independence, and become fulfilled, contributing members of society.
HISTORY
Our organization began in 1986 with the support of Christ Church Cathedral and First Presbyterian Church. Members of these two socially-active churches recognized the growing need to provide more structured housing for working homeless men than was offered by night-by-night programs.
The combined efforts of leaders in these two churches and other community individuals resulted in the creation of a place where homeless men could work and return to a place they could - in the interim - call home. With the help of a caring staff, a drug and alcohol-free environment, job coaching, and counseling, the men could build a foundation on which to transition to self-sufficiency.
“At Matthew 25, I learned to set goals and use them as my guide…I learned to start my day with God and stay with Him all day. Alcohol is behind me. It is not a craving, not a thought. I am focused on my art and moving forward to be more stable financially.”
