Our Mission

NEW is guided by a mission to partner with homeless women to create new futures. We provide a nurturing environment so that women can recognize their worth. NEW transforms lives, by providing housing, fostering the development of life skills, and promoting education and employment, to end the cycle of homelessness.

Testimonials

“I had lost myself. Lost the woman that I know; the one that lit up the room when she walked into it. Now I’m leaving NEW after working the program. This is not just a new chapter — it’s a new book. I can’t wait for what comes next.”

“Inside me, it opened up,” says C. of her time healing at NEW. “God does work through people and through this place.”

“I came to New Endeavors after struggling with homelessness for more than 15 years. I needed help and I knew it. I am forever grateful to New Endeavors because they welcomed me with open arms, gave me a home and helped me pick up the pieces.”

“I never thought I would work for free. [But] with motivation and guidance from NEW, I decided to volunteer in an IT department. Volunteering allowed me to add to my resume and get a good paying job with an IT staffing agency.”
