Project H.O.M.E.
Project H.O.M.E. works for justice in the way they strive to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty. They make it their job to be the help people need to get back on their feet by providing affordable housing and access to quality education, employment, and health care. I do believe that they also do works of charity. While they are centered around the long-term goal of being able to prevent homelessness and poverty, the little every day acts they carry out can be considered charity. In a way, charity and justice are linked together. If an organization is striving for justice, then they will be doing acts of charity everyday in order to achieve justice. I believe that is what Project H.O.M.E. is doing.
Project H.O.M.E. differentiates from other homeless shelters simply by the fact that they do more to help. Other homeless shelters offers a roof over your head and food to eat, whereas Project H.O.M.E. offers you a second chance at life. They help you find your way to affordable housing, and provide access to employment opportunities. I would say it is definitely more complex than other homeless shelters.
After looking through their website, it is hard to choose one of their programs that is the most important. I believe that all of them are equally as important. For starters, education is very important because with out education it would be near impossible to get a job. Which leads to their second program of opportunities. They open a lot of doors for people by helping them to find jobs and reach their full potential. With out a job, they wouldn't be able to pay for a house, which brings us to their next program of housing. With out the education to get a job, paying for a house would be extremely hard. All of these programs tie together in order to create a healthy living which is why I think all of these programs are equally as important.
