Vision House works faithfully every day to improve the lives of people who are facing homeless do to sudden financial emergencies.  Sometimes unexpected job loss, medical emergencies,   death of a spouse, or other financial needs can leave a family unable to pay rent.  Vision House will help these families so they don’t become homeless.

Vision House provides furnished apartments for people ready to move out of shelters and getting ready to support themselves.   Bedding, pots and pans, dishes, and cleaning supplies make each apartment ready for immediate use.  Counseling, help in getting job training or other education, and assistance in finding employment make transitioning from homelessness easier.  Child care for children of parents who are taking job training classes or furthering their education makes it easier for them to prepare for permanent employment.  Some help is available for families with special needs children.
​
Families leaving Vision House for independent living are given bedding, cleaning supplies, dishes and other household items needed to start out on their own.
Vision House’s mission is to follow Jesus in working with the poor and homeless to promote positive transformation of their lives.  Vision House will receive the $100 allocation for September.
