OUR MISSION
inspirica strives to end homelessness and housing insecurity by helping individuals and families achieve stability through support services and affordable housing.
We are unique for four reasons
1. SCOPE OF HOUSING
By operating emergency shelters, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, deeply affordable housing, and rapid rehousing we work across the spectrum of housing, allowing us to break the cycle of homelessness rather than provide only a temporary fix.
2. OUR COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
We address not just the physical component of homelessness (residential), but all the reasons a person becomes homeless (support services). Our ability to deliver comprehensive integrated services is a key element of our success.
3. SCOPE OF PEOPLE WE SERVE
By serving single women, single men, families, people with mental illness, and persons living with HIV/AIDS, we work across the spectrum of people who are homeless rather than with just one segment of those in need.
4. OUR FOCUS ON RESULTS
We measure success not by how many people we serve, but by the ultimate goal: how many people achieve - and maintain - permanent housing and stability in their lives.
