Solutions at Work helps people transition out of homelessness. Founded in 1989, we remain true to our dual mission: helping homeless people advocate for their own needs and breaking the economic chains that bind people in homelessness.

Led and run by homeless and formerly homeless people, our programs bridge the gap between being homeless and living again as stable members of the broader community. Most of our programs are built upon recycling of high-quality items that would otherwise be discarded or sold, including clothing for children and adults, computers, cars, and bicycles.

Our one-of-a-kind low-cost moving business provides jobs as well as critical transportation.

Transitional employees of Solutions at Work learn work skills while helping to provide our direct services. They receive paid, on-the-job training, supervised by program managers who have a personal understanding of the challenges they face. When ready, these employees transition into the “mainstream” work world or advance within the Solutions at Work organization to become trainers and mentors.

Through all of our programs, our goal is to empower people to become self-reliant by developing the skills necessary to have productive and fulfilling lives.
