“Oneheart: a place for hope & healing is a four-acre transformation campus in rapid city, south dakota, with a mission of empowering people to overcome crisis and achieve self-sustainability. Built upon the principles of brain science and choice architecture, oneheart's model encourages true transformation through informed decision-making and positive behavioral changes. After nearly four years of intensive research, intentional planning, and campus acquisition and renovations, oneheart opened its doors to the first enrollees in january 2021. Oneheart provides transitional housing and meets other basic needs at no cost to program participants (our "guests") so they can focus on furthering their job, skill, and/or education levels to foster upward mobility. The goal is that guests leave the campus with steady incomes and housing options so they can escape the crisis of poverty permanently and experience a better quality of life.”

“Oneheart transformation program after raising nearly 17,000,000 to acquire and renovate the 4-acre campus property, oneheart leases a facility through a long-term agreement with the city of rapid city. The facility went through a complete remodel that was finished in 2021. The campus is designed to get people out of crisis mode, mitigate barriers to upward mobility, and help people rebuild their lives. Guests are referred to the campus through community partners. Once accepted, they live in one of three towers (men, women, and families) and work with their transformation team to address their individual needs. Our vision is to see all individuals and families who enter oneheart be thriving citizens of our community upon graduation. Our target market is those individuals and families experiencing high-crisis lifestyles related to poverty, housing insecurity, and homelessness. A variety of services are co-located on campus to help achieve these goals and provide direct and timely services to our guests. Nonprofit services on campus include: healthcare, mental health services, case management, domestic violence assistance, counseling, addiction services, life skills classes, financial literacy skills, and native american cultural development and healing services. Even more services are available on a referral-basis, determined by the individual needs of the guest. We also offer an onsite food service, a wellness facility, a child development center, and transportation services free of-charge. Through this wrap-around support, along with the stability and security we provide, guests can move towards a life of greater stability and self-sufficiency. Oneheart has welcomed more than 730 people since opening its doors in january 2021. In 2024 alone, oneheart served 253 people. Outcomes include: 20 program participants enrolled in ged programs, 19 enrolled in higher education, 18 family reunifications, 26 who paid off/paid down debt, 48 who opened new savings accounts, 5 oneheart graduations, and 26 additional successful exits from the program. Graduate is defined as people whove accomplished 80% or higher of their goals, leave campus with a livable wage, substantial savings, minimal or no debt, and their readiness to thrive assessment is all positive. Graduate is the tippy-top level of discharge. More often we see successes which we define as guests who didnt reach that 80% mark but are still stable in community. Oneheart also provided 39,716 "safe sleeps" in the secure transitional living units, more than 16,300 well-balanced meals, and more than 4,500 rides to or from work, school, or other life-rebuilding appointments and activities.”

“Program accomplishment 4: gravitate employment platform launched in q42023, our cutting-edge gravitate employment platform is designed to make jobseekers more attractive to employers and empower employers to enhance and expand the workforce with serious and committed candidates. Many of the brain science elements and pathways to viable outcomes that are prevalent in the oneheart model were programmed into this software as a service (saas) tool. It is the first employment platform of its kind, allowing employers insight into candidates before deciding to engage. And its the first employment platform that allows candidates to learn from mistakes and evolve. This system addresses deficiencies in the current employment platform landscape such as no-call, no-shows to interviews, high job-posting costs for little to no results, and getting flooded with non-serious, non-qualified candidates. On the flipside, it is the only platform that gives candidates feedback so they know where they stand and can take suggested training within the tool to perform better next time. Our proprietary gravitate score allows candidates to stand out to employers as well as gives employers deep and meaningful insights into candidates character and drive. Program accomplishment 5: homebrew social enterprise opened in 2021 with the launch of oneheart, homebrew is a social enterprise coffee shop on the oneheart campus open to the public. Profits support campus operations and provide a meeting place for guests (program participants). The program was designed to employ guests of oneheart, teach them valuable job skills, and build their resumes and their confidence as they work to rebuild their lives. We have successfully employed guests every year since opening. Currently, 66% of homebrews employees are either oneheart guests or graduates.”
