Our Mission

SemiFaith
Our mission is, “Breaking the homeless cycle one family at a time.”
Underlying the mission of Providence House is God’s gracious intention, sovereign purpose, and steadfast love for each and every person. In providing shelter, care, support, and encouragement for families in need, we would be a visible sign and instrument of God’s own provision for his children.
The Lord who created you says, “Fear not, I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1
