Mission Statement

At Hearth, Inc., we believe that every senior deserves a safe, stable home and the support needed to age with dignity. We are dedicated to eliminating elder homelessness by providing permanent, affordable housing, comprehensive care management services, and homelessness prevention programs for those at risk of losing their homes. Many of our residents have faced the trauma of homelessness and now live on extremely limited incomes, often relying solely on Social Security or Disability benefits. At Hearth, they don’t just find housing—they find a lifeline. Our team of on-site nurses, home health aides, and care managers work to ensure their health, stability, and well-being, while our prevention programs provide critical support to seniors on the brink of homelessness, helping them stay housed and secure. Beyond housing and healthcare, we recognize that social connection is essential. Our programs provide opportunities for engagement, from community outings to cultural events, ensuring our residents stay active, connected, and supported.
