Launched in 1992, Interfaith Outreach Home, Inc. was the first organization in the
community to focus on supporting two-parent homeless families with children while
they rebuild their lives. IOH has served 119 families in their efforts to gain life
skills, establish careers and move to independent living through case management and
support services. The goal of IOH is to insure that these families break the cycle
of homelessness and regain self-sufficiency so that they are contributing citizens in
society.
