Second Heart Homes is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing permanent housing to those with mental illness who have experienced or are at-risk of homelessness. SHH’s goal is to provide long-term solutions that revive dignity and enhance quality of life through self-sufficiency.

Our Second Heart Program is innovative and designed with the specific needs of our clients in mind. Housing is combined with daily support, mentorship, tight community collaboration and custom workshops to empower our clients with the tools to become self-sufficient. Those served frequently come from backgrounds with little or no-support. Whether cooking, cleaning, time-management, job-seeking, computer literacy or art

instruction, we exercise patience to teach clients how to live again, sometimes for the first time.
