WHO WE ARE AT TEAM WORKZ ORGANIZATION
We assist local, qualified, individuals (including veterans, families, the unsheltered, the mentally ill, and vulnerable individuals) to find emergency support with limited shelter, food, and basic necessities. Additionally, we offer various other programs to help qualified individuals achieve stable independence by providing access to limited shelter, transportation, job placement, life skill classes, and affiliated programs for clothing, food, and counseling.

Every day hundreds of our neighbors - men, women, and children - are struggling to survive. Many are sick, hungry, and afraid. We provide care with trust, dignity, and privacy.

 Homelessness can stem from a variety of complex factors. Here are some common causes:

Remember, addressing homelessness requires a multifaceted approach that considers both individual circumstances and systemic issues. Compassion, advocacy, and community efforts play crucial roles in combating this societal challenge. 
  1. Lack of Trustworthy Relationships:The absence of strong, reliable relationships can lead to homelessness. Having no family or friends to turn to during tough times leaves a significant void. Trustworthy relationships can provide temporary shelter and guidance, preventing homelessness.
  2. Illness and Disability:Chronic illnesses and disabilities can disrupt employment. Without steady income, affording housing and basic necessities becomes nearly impossible. Medical bills further exacerbate the situation.
  3. Abuse:  Physical or sexual abuse affects many homeless individuals. Survivors escaping their abusers often find themselves with nowhere to go, making the streets their only refuge.
  4. Working, but in Poverty: Some homeless people do have jobs, but they are often low-paying. These wages may not cover housing or food expenses. Evictions and foreclosures can happen suddenly, leaving them without a home.
  5. Unemployment: Job loss, layoffs, and workplace discrimination can thrust anyone into homelessness. The contingent nature of employment means unforeseen misfortunes can disrupt income and lead to eviction.
  6. Housing Affordability:  A lack of affordable housing is a significant factor. Many low-income individuals cannot find housing within their means, pushing them toward homelessness.
  7. Life Events and Strain: Relationship breakdowns, job loss, mental or physical health problems, and substance misuse can strain individuals to the breaking point, resulting in homelessness.
