About this organization
Mission
We serve and catalyze our community to end homelessness, one person at a time.
About
Driven by our core values, we prevent homelessness through financial assistance to households facing eviction, provide emergency shelter for people in crisis, secure permanent housing for individuals and families, and organize our community through advocacy efforts. We build supportive relationships with our participants that make it possible for us to prevent and end homelessness, one person at a time. Connections was founded almost 40 years ago by rebellious religious leaders and community volunteers committed to providing support, with dignity and compassion, to individuals and families who were homeless. This same commitment is the heart of who we are today. We serve people of all ages who are homeless and those who are on verge of losing their home. And, the program that launched our founding in 1984, Hilda’s Place, has grown to provide shelter to the homeless 365 days a year, now at the Margarita Inn.
