Mission Statement The mission of Abode Services is to end homelessness by assisting low-income unhoused people, including those with special needs, to secure stable, supportive housing and to be advocates for the removal of the causes of homelessness. We Value Accountability We value taking responsibility for ourselves, our actions, and our team; following through on our commitments; and being transparent and open to the community. We Value Integrity We value reporting data and outcomes consistently and accurately, and being honest and consistent with our participants, our community, and our colleagues. We Value Respect We value providing information and services in a dignified manner; refraining from judgment of participants; and meeting and working with participants where they are. We try to see each participant as a whole – not just their problems, but their strengths as well. We Value Commitment We value treating everyone with patience and compassion. We believe in perseverance – “showing up, not giving up” – even in difficult situations. We Value Creativity We value taking a thoughtful and resourceful approach to our projects and partnerships with participants, colleagues, and the community. We challenge ourselves to look beyond what is easy and obvious, to try new ideas and new approaches, and to find ways to improve our services every day. |
