Creating a New Future for the Homeless

Every Person Has A Story
-
At the Samaritan Center of Simi Valley, we believe that every life matters and that everyone’s story matters. We also believe that despite what they have endured in the past, a positive future is available to everyone. Our mission is to understand and meet them where they are and provide them with the tools and support they need to change course.
The Samaritan Center is committed to providing the homeless with opportunities and the hope of a better life.
We believe their stories can change forever when given a chance.

Our Mission
-
Love
The most important thing we can do for our homeless is show them care and support. By extending love and care we bridge the gap between their desperation and “feeling” whole again.
-
Feed
Food is an essential part of life. Nourishment gives us the energy and nutrients to develop, be healthy and active, work, think and learn.
-
Educate
Everything depends on knowledge. Our basic needs for employment and survival depend on knowledge and empower us to take control of our lives.
-
House
Housing provides the security that each of us depends on to feel safe. When we are safe and our basic needs are met, there is hope for possibilities we hadn’t imagined.
