Our Programs

Cultivating spaces for connection. When you enter our refuge housing, you often hear, "This doesn't feel like a shelter." We have found that home has been a word so often lost in generations of displacement and trauma. Keeping bags packed as a child and experiencing life on the move became a familiar narrative for many, going back generations. We ask those who walk through our doors, "Who has believed in you?" Again and again, we hear the response, "No one." That response is what propels us to provide space for that to change. Sometimes, that looks like giving a 24-hour bed. We value the space to nurture and introduce a connection to a renewed idea of what home can be. We believe in the power of choice and personal decisions to break harmful patterns and create new possibilities. When an individual's mind is renewed, it's not merely their life that is changed but also new trajectories for their children and communities to experience home differently.
