Hawthorn Hill's mission is to establish and operate housing programs for homeless families with children that help them obtain permanent housing and to provide services to help families achieve economic self-sufficiency. Hawthorn Hill provides assistance through two programs that assist homeless families with children: New Directions Shelter and The Home Connection. New Directions Shelter provides free, temporary, emergency shelter and services for homeless mothers and their children. The Home Connection provides affordable housing and supportive services to homeless families with children, with emphasis on attaining financial independence and home ownership.
