“The kitchen, inc. Brings stability and purpose to people who are homeless. The kitchen has made the affirmative decision to focus on five primary areas: 1. Developing affordable housing: the kitchen believes that safe, decent, and affordable housing is a prerequisite to preventing future homelessness and ensuring that households exiting homelessness have the opportunity for long-term stable housing. 2. Community housing: for individuals and families working to end their homelessness, placement in integrated community housing is vital to long- term success and stability. 3. Homeless and at risk youth: homeless effects many populations, but none so dramatically as youth. By providing a safe environment where youth can access basic needs and effective support services to address barriers to housing, employment and treatement; we believe that these effects can be mitigated. Further, we believe that housing interventions that meet the needs of individual youth and allow development in the community are critical to ending youth homelessness. 4. Outreach: identifying and connecting with individuals and families that are homeless is the first step in meeting our mission. Building relationships and connecting individuals to appropriate services is vital to the housing and support service process. 5. Emergency shelter: access to safe shelter is the first step in moving people from homelessness to permanent housing. To achieve this, the kitchen is committed to ensuring shelter opportunities for individuals and families with access to support services.”
