For 32-years, Providence House has operated with a singular mission- "To Break the Homeless Cycle One Family at a Time." Founded in January 1988, Providence House has focused all programmatic efforts around helping homeless families (single men, single women and married couples) with children to live a self-sufficient life. They have provided a “way out” of poverty based on three strong pillars: education, housing and supportive services. Their goals are to meet every family at their point of need and to remove all barriers that lead to homelessness. Providence House’s long-term vision is to create a community where no family is homeless.
