Our Mission

Our Mission

At Friends of DHA, our mission is to empower low-income families and individuals towards self-sufficiency and independent living. We achieve this through dedicated board leadership and impactful fundraising efforts.

Our Vision

To provide self-sufficiency programming for residents with two main goals:

 

  • Empower individuals to break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve lasting economic independence.

​

  • Ensure our senior citizens and individuals with disabilities can thrive comfortably within their homes, maintaining their cherished independence without the need for assisted living.
