Simpson’s immediate goal is to get people off the street.

Our longer-term goal is to ensure that people have the resources they need to move from homelessness to permanent housing.

We are committed to the belief that men, women and children experiencing homelessness can be housed with a bit of time, stability, and encouragement. We know that close individual advocacy, support and education will greatly benefit them and help ensure them finding a place to call home.
