Our Vision

HopeWorks is moving away from the rhetoric of “ending homelessness,” which puts the burden on the individual, to “healing homelessness,” which incorporates diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice values as a means of understanding how and why homelessness exists.

Homelessness isn’t an individual failure; it is a community failure, which requires community-oriented solutions. To this end, under the direction of Annam, a visionary woman of color, HopeWorks is incorporating a diverse service array designed to holistically heal the trauma that exists in community while incorporating holistic modalities to heal the individual and collective through the mind, body, and spirit. HopeWorks is envisioning a bold new campus focused exclusively on the value of building spiritual community and loving partnership with each other while healing and addressing the traumas that underpin every single one of us. Our goal is to address individual and collective trauma and promote healing through loving community and collaboration. Love is at the core of everything we do.
