We provide compassionate assistance to the homeless in the Verde Valley.

The mission of the Verde Valley Homeless Coalition (VVHC) is to provide solutions to the needs of the homeless in the Verde Valley working with the support of the entire community.  We recognize the importance of effective evaluation of each person’s needs, the matching of needs with services, and the necessity of keeping data on how well we’re doing in meeting the needs.  Educating our community on our available services and funding sources is important to maintaining a sustainable organization.

Accepting, connecting, and opening doors to transformation

We seek to create a community where the most basic human needs are fulfilled.  We understand various unavoidable circumstances that occur lead to unexpected hardships for families and individuals.  Homeless people disappear from the community’s view, ‘falling through the “cracks”.  Extreme poverty, homelessness and hunger are manifestations of such circumstances.  We are passionate and focused on providing solutions and hope.  We envision a future where homelessness, hunger and poverty are eradicated.  We hope to inspire others in the community to join us in this effort.

We build on each other’s ideas and skills. We believe the best results are gained by capitalizing on the team’s strengths and not on an individual’s talents alone. As individuals, we either lead or follow to achieve the best results for the organization and those we serve.

As a part of our culture, the constant pursuit of excellence and quality is something we incorporate throughout all our processes. Quality means doing the daily work and continuously improving everything we do.

We foster environments that empower and motivate others to successfully accomplish their objectives. We mentor and develop each team member. We lead by example. We serve the community.

We commit ourselves to exceeding expectations. We recognize those we serve are the most important judges of our performance.

We walk hand-in-hand with those we serve.  We show compassion and caring.  We listen.  We meet people where they are and encourage them to connect with services to address their needs.
