Our mission is to end homelessness by providing shelter, respite care, work opportunities and other services, so that people have increased opportunities for stabilization, recovery, and permanent housing.

Our Vision
JustHealth Recuperative Care
In 2014-15, we operated a pilot project to gain experience in post-hospitalization healthcare services to people who lack housing and are transitioning out of an acute care hospital. The program offers minimal oversight in an overnight (motel) facility and provides support with follow-up appointments, connections to support services, and housing. We are currently seeking funding to restart this program.
Employment Outreach
Since 2014, a sub-committee has been working to develop a vision for employing folks motivated to work. Current program model includes opening a co-op style cafe and establishing a barista training program. We are currently seeking funding for this project.
