Mission
Urban pathways (up) is a non-profit, social service and supportive housing organization serving the city's homeless adults through outreach, assessment, shelter-based settings and transitional and permanent housing. Up's mission is to respond to the problems of the homeless by providing the opportunities, hope, and dignity which empower consumers to improve the circumstances of their lives, and to honor each person's right to achieve his/her place in society, including a decent place to live. The organization also provides leadership in addressing the causes of homelessness and developing comprehensive solutions. Ultimately, we help homeless men and women leave the streets and find permanent shelter, develop self-respect, and achieve independence and self-sufficiency.
