Every not-for-profit, no matter how effective they may be, delivers on only a portion of their mission.
Homelessness is as much about trauma and mental health as it is about homes and shelters. Food insecurity is very much about access to food as it is about actual nourishment. A holistic approach and a meaningful change in outcomes requires the work of an entire suite of organizations working together to achieve more enduring outcomes.
