Abode Services' mission is to end homelessness by assisting low-income, un-housed people, including those with special needs, to secure stable, supportive housing; and to be advocates for the removal of the causes of homelessness. We develop and implement innovative programs to end homelessness. Our agency is built on the principles of “Housing First,” a proven approach that has demonstrated results far superior to the traditional approaches to homelessness.

Last year, Abode assisted 9,173 people and ensured that on any given night 3,965 people slept in a home rather than on the street.
