Mission Statement
"Our mission is to end the crisis of homelessness. We believe the way to solve this crisis, one person at a time, is to provide housing with supportive services, to encourage personal and income development, and stability in physical and mental health. We do this through our three locations in Salem, Beverly, and Gloucester."
