Project H.O.M.E. works for justice by giving people the opportunities they deserve. People who were once homeless are sold homes at discounted prices, which they then can call their own. Project H.O.M.E. also offers medical help, and educational and career opportunities for people so that they can defeat the cycle of poverty and make their own way in the world. Everyone deserves an education and equal opportunities, so these works provide by Project H.O.M.E. are works of justice and not charity. However, some people may view these works as works of charity.
Project H.O.M.E. is very different from most shelters in that nothing is freely given to those who need it. Rather than there be an atmosphere of a giver and a receiver - that of someone being inferior to someone else. Project H.O.M.E gives those people who may have been placed into an unfortunate situation the opportunities they need to achieve their fullest potential on their own terms and by their own means. Project H.O.M.E. offers people the ability to achieve what they deserve
I think that their most important program is the education they provide for young children and even adults. The ability to become educated and eventually obtain a career is one of the sole means of breaking the cycle of poverty. If all of the children of the homeless can become educated, they will have the ability to provide means for not only their parents but future generations to come.
