The Race HOME highlights the important roles of physical and mental wellness in an individual’s journey towards permanent and supportive housing.  Street homelessness greatly impacts a person’s physical and mental health. Project HOME’s Hub of Hope offers a safe place where people can enjoy a warm cup of coffee, shower, wash laundry, see a doctor, meet with a case manager, and begin the process of finding permanent housing. To learn more about the Hub of Hope, please visit our webpage.
