What We Do

At PRM, we believe that homelessness is a temporary circumstance, not a permanent condition.

Addressing Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms

Behind every statistic is a person. Someone who once had plans, relationships, and dreams for the future. Homelessness rarely begins with the loss of housing. It begins with brokenness, unhealed trauma, fractured relationships, untreated mental health challenges, or financial burdens too heavy to bear. These challenges can slowly erode a person’s stability.
