We believe in a world where every family is stably housed
At Wellspring, we believe every family—and in particular, every child—deserves a stable home. A place to feel safe and the confidence and sense of security that comes with it.
We’re a nonprofit organization on a mission to end family homelessness for good. We connect people with the resources and support they need to maintain and regain stability for themselves and their families—and to achieve positive, lasting change in their lives.
Preventing homelessness before it happens—and intervening early when it does
Keeping a family housed is the best way to reduce the lifelong impact of homelessness. It’s also less costly. When homelessness can’t be avoided, we intervene as early as possible.
Committed to DEIA and Trauma-Informed Care
Wellspring is committed to work that combines two powerful ideas: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Access and Trauma-Informed Care. We are mindful of the impact of trauma upon both individuals and communities, and this awareness shapes how we approach our mission. We aim to break cycles of trauma, inequity, and poverty – and to prioritize healing and hope. We believe in meeting each person where they are, showing respect, honoring dignity, and building on their own unique strengths.
