Deep Roots

Ending Homelessness One Child at a Time – In addition to serving as a homeless shelter for children and families in the community, Deep Roots strives to break the generational cycle of homelessness.  Our program challenges children and their parents to envision a brighter future, to sustain healthy relationships, and to navigate a course towards personal and social responsibility.  Through better life experiences, with mentors, and by providing healthy life-models, education, and supports, Deep Roots seeks to show our families that homelessness is not destiny.  Ending poverty and homelessness begins with the building of community, relationships, and in genuine human meeting – beyond barriers of race, class, and religion. Community enriches all our lives, and the lives of our children; it lays the foundation for the gentle and peaceable world we long for: One in which the violence of poverty and homelessness have no more place.

Deep Roots provides emergency and transitional housing to families with children. Our beautiful Farm has space to house up to 12 families with children. We give them a stable place to live while working to move into permanent housing.
