Mission: The mission of The INN Between is to end the tragedy of vulnerable people dying on the streets of our community by providing medical respite and end-of-life care to those experiencing homelessness. We provide a home environment that enables adults experiencing homelessness to gain access to professional hospice care from State-licensed hospice agencies; undergo life-saving medical treatment; stabilize in preparation for surgery; or recuperate from serious illness, injury, or surgery. As we near our 10th anniversary, we celebrate our accomplishments - As of 2025 The INN Between has provided over 90,000 medical housing nights to more than 900 individuals—and ensured that over 150 people were able to experience a dignified death, housed not homeless.

Results: Since opening in 2015, The INN Between has helped over 150 terminally ill homeless men and women experience end of life with dignity, and with access to professional hospice care, basic needs, and social, emotional and spiritual support. We have also helped nearly 1,000 individuals qualify for life-saving medical treatment and recuperate from serious medical conditions in safe housing instead of in a shelter, campsite, or on the street.
