Mission And Guiding Principles

Home of the Sparrow partners with women facing homelessness to secure housing and achieve long-term stability.

Resiliency: We build women’s strength, confidence, and life skills to put them in control of their lives and to improve their ability to face challenges in the future.

Compassion: We serve and we lead with warmth and respect.

Excellence: We seek and expect the best from ourselves and from those we serve.

Collaboration: We collaborate with networks of organizations, donors, funders, and the people we serve to leverage resources and opportunities that result in positive change and growth.

Adaptability: We maintain a funding and operational model that allows us to develop and incorporate new ideas that will achieve the most impactful outcomes for our communities.

Forward-thinking: Never satisfied with the status quo, we constantly think about what is next for the people we serve and for our organization.

Community: The people we serve and those who support our work are part of a dynamic community that is driven to create opportunities for women to fulfill their ambitions and aspirations.

Believing all individuals deserve safe, affordable housing, our vision is a future where all women have access to the tools, resources, and services they need to lead hopeful, independent and productive lives.
