House of Charity

At House of Charity, we believe hope is an action. We know that change happens when people feel seen, respected, and loved. Our skilled team understands that building relationships leads to opening doors many believed were closed for good. Hope sees beyond fear and paves the way to greater health and wholeness. Hope believes that the past doesn’t dictate what can happen in the future. Hope understands that in this place, we all belong.

​

House of Charity serves people of all kinds: the elderly who are afraid and unexpectedly finding themselves homeless for the first time, people who have aged out of foster care and have no supports, those who are struggling with behavioral health issues that feel beyond help. These are our people. House of Charity is a community that works together to provide safety, support, and a path forward.
