Every Family. Every Person. A Home
CATCH exists because everyone needs a home. We work to create a safe, healthy, connected community by embracing Housing First best practices, empowering those without housing, building collaborative partnerships, and increasing public understanding to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. Our vision is to end homelessness in the Treasure Valley!
The CATCH Way
These are the values that we commit to:
Take Care of Yourself to Take Care of Others. Ending homelessness is a marathon, not a sprint. It is essential, not optional, that each member of the team be deeply invested in finding ways to restore and/or enhance their personal health on a regular basis.
Welcome All. Every client, community member and team member is welcome and valued. We create and extend a culture of safety, bravery, and gratitude within our offices and everywhere our work takes us. We create bridges, not barriers.
Advance Equity. We are committed to adding our organization's voice and actions to healing the relational wounds caused by systemic racism and inequity of the past and present and advancing the interests of social justice for all towards our community’s equitable future.
Always See the Human. We are a People First, Trauma-Informed organization: every human being has inherent worth. We assume positive intent and seek to understand before attempting to be understood. We take the time to co-create a relationship of honesty and empathy.
Be Humble. There is always more to learn. Life is messy and complex. We approach people and situations as learners rather than experts. Making mistakes is part of being human and we take personal accountability for our growth. It’s ok to own your oops.
Stay Mission Focused. We exist to connect people with housing--a basic human right. Period. Ending homelessness is our North Star. We identify distractions and set them aside. We will not be deterred from our mission.
Be Action-Oriented Problem Solvers. We hold onto hope and challenge the status quo in pursuit of ending homelessness. We do not give up. Continuous learning empowers us to advocate for innovative change.
Build Each Other Up. We are kind and respectful in all of our interactions. We are collaborative and encouraging, fostering a culture of levity and laughter. It takes a community of people with diverse life experiences to create effective solutions to homelessness.
Be Reliable and Transparent. We are accountable and solutions-focused. We commit to be authentic stewards of relationships and resources.
