Our Approach

Outsiders Inn strives to erase the line between “us” and “them”. This means we’ve built a team of people who are experts by experience. This sets us apart from many other organizations that are collaborating together to serve the homeless in our community. Our staff is uniquely informed to support and address the underlying causes of homelessness in our community - because they have been there. We all desire to be understood, heard, and seen. Sometimes that takes a keen eye that only lived experience can recognize and create a bridge to connection. This allows us to operate in a peer-led, recovery-focused model, by providing support by qualified peer workers. Our peer-centered, relational approach is shown to help the positive impact that is needed to recover from homelessness.
