About Us

OUR VISION

To achieve functional zero homelessness in Knoxville, Tennessee.


OUR MISSION

We aim to support functional zero by weaving a web of interagency collaboration, so dense, no human falls through the cracks.


OUR APPROACH

In addition to providing direct services, we will act as a liaison, connecting vulnerable humans with resources, in the highest-risk locations; meeting people where they are.

WHO ARE WE?

  • We are a team of passionate individuals who have watched addiction ravage lives.  
  • We have observed the squalor which homelessness brings to our city and neighborhoods. 
  • We have lost precious humans who didn't make it through our failing system.
  • We have experienced what it takes to recover and how to help others recover.   
  • We have witnessed the power of addicts helping addicts.  
  • WE DON'T ACCEPT OUR CURRENT REALITY!

How did we get here?

  • SHELTER and DAY SPACE with RESOURCES, for people experiencing homelessness, is one of Knoxville's most basic and unmet needs.   
  • Our current social system has gaps which prevent the successful reintegration of adults coming out of recovery and incarceration. 
  • This gap leads to greater risk of chronic homelessness and reoccurrence of addiction and crime.   
  • Stabilizing resources and shelter to usher individuals off the street out of reach to individuals experiencing homelessness.
