Bridging the gap between homelessness and hope one family at a time
Our Mission
Housing Initiatives of Princeton is dedicated to transitioning working families and individuals who are homeless or facing imminent homelessness to permanent housing and sustained self-sufficiency.
Description:
Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP) is a 501 (c) (3) transitional housing organization that started assisting families in 2004. HIP achieves its mission through the procurement and coordination of resources of member congregations, partner agencies, concerned individuals and businesses, Foundations, and Charitable Trusts. Transitional housing is provided to families and individuals for twelve to twenty-four months along with individualized social services needed for them to succeed on their own and transition to permanent housing.
We strive for the following goals:
- Offer supportive housing to working families in the area and to employable women in early recovery from alcohol and/or drug addiction who have completed a residential treatment program;
- Provide educational scholarships to individuals, as merited, to help them achieve housing security and escape poverty permanently;
- Raise awareness of homelessness and the challenges facing the working poor;
- Acquire additional housing units in order to expand our assistance.
