Our Vision

HopeWorks is moving away from the rhetoric of “ending homelessness,” which puts the burden on the individual, to “healing homelessness,” which incorporates diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice values as a means of understanding how and why homelessness exists.

Homelessness isn’t an individual failure; it is a community failure, which requires community-oriented solutions. To this end, under the direction of Annam, a visionary woman of color, HopeWorks is incorporating a diverse service array designed to holistically heal the trauma that exists in community while incorporating holistic modalities to heal the individual and collective through the mind, body, and spirit. HopeWorks is envisioning a bold new campus focused exclusively on the value of building spiritual community and loving partnership with each other while healing and addressing the traumas that underpin every single one of us. Our goal is to address individual and collective trauma and promote healing through loving community and collaboration. Love is at the core of everything we do.

      Heroes on the Front Line

      Clarice Honahnie, Housing Program Supervisor

      I am a proud mother of five children. Every moment I get, I bring them up with the traditions of my Hopi heritage and Catholic way of life. As my son and I walk out the door, we greet the sun, thanking him for another day, asking for guidance and strength for the day to come. We always end with prayers for all people. I take my son to school, and I am off to the building of HOPE.

      I have been a part of the HopeWorks family for about two years. I started off as a Pathways case manager and then moved to the Comprehensive Recovery Team (CRT) program, where I was promoted to a Senior Community Service Worker. Leading the housing program with the perspective of a case manager allows me to understand the human side of housing. I want our clients to know there is help, regardless of where they are on their paths. The work we do and the population we serve are very dear to my heart.

      We have such a passionate team here. Everyone I work with is willing to do what is necessary to make sure we accomplish our goals! That level of enthusiasm and energy is what allows us to achieve remarkable things.
