Supportive Services
Our supportive services meet critical needs. We assist our guests in obtaining birth certificates, Social Security cards, and identification. These crucial documents open doors to employment, healthcare, and housing.
We also provide access to emergency food and clothing and assist guests with benefits enrollment. Through partnerships with other agencies, we offer on-site vision clinics and prescription glasses, basic medical care, and housing.

The Main Frame Job Readiness program provides the transferable skills and personal support our guests need to find and maintain steady, living-wage employment in today’s difficult job market.

Advocacy
We are committed to addressing the larger issues and attitudes that contribute to homelessness. We engage in advocacy work that seeks to change the policies and practices that make it difficult for people to escape poverty. We also strive to empower our guests to advocate for themselves.
Our approach has developed out of our hands-on work with people experiencing homelessness and continues to be directed by their experiences.
