Word of Thanks - Housed Working and Healthy - 2026

Our mission is to help people return to independent living and be self-sufficient. 

The HWH model is partner based and encompasses housing, mental health services, workforce training and employment.

This supportive structure and services helps people stabilize, develop a support network, become trained, gain experience, get a job, secure independent housing and ultimately become self-sufficient.

HWH is where people willing to put the work into restarting their lives can get working again, get housing, and get mental health support on their path to self-sufficiency.
