Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Homeless & Housing, Housing Development, Construction & Management, Housing Search Assistance
Mission: Hearth is dedicated to the elimination of homelessness among the elderly. This mission is accomplished through a unique blend of prevention, placement, and housing programs all designed to help elders find and succeed in homes of their own. To this end, all housing operated by hearth provides a creative array of supportive services that assist residents to age with dignity, regardless of their special medical, mental health, or social needs. Hearth believes these goals are best accomplished through respect for elders and staff, with the desire to see both achieve their highest degree of potential.
Programs: Supportive housing -hearth manages seven supportive housing sites for 190 formerly homeless elders and those who were at risk of homelessness. All of hearth's residents receive the help they need to stay safely housed, and over 107 residents receive daily assistance in order to remain housed in the community.
outreach -five case managers and a director assist approximately 300 homeless or at risk elders in their search for permanent housing and services during the year. Of the total served in 2017, 108 homeless or at risk elders were placed in permanent housing. Additionally, of the elders placed in permanent housing in the previous year, approximately 94% were still housed, a success rate of which we are very proud.
