Mission
We accompany people experiencing homelessness on their journey from the street to a home, helping them regain dignity, sobriety, and the joy of life through a shared home.
Where does this lead?
Where we operate, no one stays on the street because they have nowhere to go after completing treatment. A person leaving an addiction treatment ward has an address, a key, and people waiting for them the next day. Escaping homelessness is an ordinary, predictable path, not an exception that makes the newspaper.
How we work
Homelessness is a crisis, not a sentence. We start on the street: streetworking and interventions in places where people spend the winter without water, electricity, and contact with anyone.
We welcome people after addiction treatment into our Homes. We provide a roof over their heads and a daily routine that is impossible to maintain on the street: The resident maintains abstinence, gets a job, learns good habits, has their own duties in the Home, and engages in volunteering for others.
We run five Houses with a total of 51 beds. The goal of this journey is independence — the first self-rented apartment at one's own expense.
Not everyone finishes this path, and not everyone has to. Whoever does not achieve full independence stays at the House permanently. We do not send anyone back to where we took them from.
What is important to us
- Homelessness is a crisis, not a sentence We do not judge anyone by their past. We ask about what comes next, and we start the conversation with that on the first day in the House.
- We do not impose, we invite Common prayer, retreats, and meetings with a priest are for those who want them. No one loses their place in the Home because they did not come.
- We accompany you to the end of the road We stay with a person also when the journey takes longer than we assumed, and when it does not end with living independently.
Faith in God and man is our engine
We believe that in every person we meet on the street, there is more than what is visible after years of crisis. We do not impose this belief on anyone — we open a space and wait for someone to use it on their own.
This path is possible because there are people behind it who fund it. Your donation is a concrete step: from the street to the Home.
We believe homelessness is a crisis, not a sentence. We welcome individuals recovering from addiction into our Homes and accompany them on their journey: we provide shelter, motivate them to continue treatment, help them find work, and—if possible—eventually return them to their family homes.
Faith in God and humanity is our driving force. For those who want it, we are opening a space for spiritual renewal—communal prayer, retreats, meetings with a priest. We do not impose, we invite.
Not everyone achieves full independence — but everyone deserves to have someone walk beside them.
Our mission is only fulfilled thanks to you. Every donation is a concrete path—from the street to home—that someone can walk thanks to you.
