vision

To eliminate homelessness.

philosophy

Our philosophy is to stand with and serve marginalized and underprivileged individuals and families who lack access to resources in the larger community. We help persons in need through a philosophical and practical approach of advocacy. Advocacy by definition means "speaking on behalf of." In practice, it means accessing and developing resources to meet basic human needs.

We incorporate three levels of advocacy in the work we do at Project PLASE:

front line advocacy

Accessing the existing human services system
Helping clients utilize and move through the human services system
Working with clients using the principle of equality and equal access to the community
