To clarify the PIH mission, we define our target population as people who:  (a) have experienced homelessness; (b) are actively at risk of homelessness

due to a history of multiple challenges, such as extremely low income, minimal or no support network, chronic illness, disabilities, and other

special needs; or (c) are vulnerable due solely to extremely low incomes even though they may have a support network and have no other significant

risk factors.

 

Once housed, PIH then works with the resident to develop a plan to stay housed and connect them to resources in the community that helps to

stabilize their lives and overcome the barriers that made them homeless or at-risk for homelessness.

Pro(ACT) Community Partnerships Inc.

Pro(ACT) was founded with this vision in mind. We exist to teach and to equip students with the cognitive and social tools needed to

internalize the values of integrity, humility, and confidence. Through consistent service work coupled with active reflection methods, we

want to see our students become emerging leaders who pride themselves in service to others. Through service- learning, we believe that students

will grow to have confidence in themselves and others around them, because they will be an active part of their environment contributing to the well-being of society. The exposure to service we give students in our program is valuable for we consistently see students’ self-esteem

raise to level that demonstrates a passion to serve others which is directly affecting how students learn, grow, and succeed.

Innovators for Community Alliance

Innovators for Community Alliance (ICA), is a nonprofit organization created with the purpose in mind to promote awareness and empowering

through education, as an innovative tool and

work with communities that struggle to find lasting solutions in different issues that communities are facing in today’s society. Our purpose and

believe is that the key to many issues that keep

individuals in the communities at a disadvantage is what has kept them from being able to provide long term solutions to many issues that are affecting

our generation and will affect future generations. At ICA we strongly believe that the solution to current issues is in OURS HANDS including social,

educational, and environmental issues. At ICA we work together to empower individuals to take part to build concrete solutions through education and be

able to provide innovative solutions for future problems.
