About AGAPE HOLMES INCORPORATION
Our Story
Agape Holmes Incorporation was founded in 2025 with the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to live in a safe, stable, and supportive environment. Our organization was established from a commitment to compassion, dignity, respect, and helping individuals and families build pathways toward greater stability and independence.
Agape Holmes Incorporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization developing housing-focused programs and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, housing instability, violence, and other significant barriers to permanent housing.
We recognize that housing challenges are often connected to employment, transportation, financial hardship, health and wellness needs, childcare, safety concerns, and access to community resources. Our goal is to develop programs and partnerships that address these interconnected barriers while promoting safety, stability, self-sufficiency, and independence.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide compassionate housing assistance and supportive services that promote safety, stability, healing, self-sufficiency, and independence for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, housing instability, and other significant barriers to permanent housing.
Our Vision
We envision communities where every individual and family facing housing instability has access to the support, resources, and opportunities they need to achieve lasting stability and build brighter futures. Through collaboration, innovation, and compassion, we strive to strengthen lives, build hope, and create pathways to brighter futures.
Our Approach
We recognize that housing instability is often connected to challenges involving employment, transportation, finances, childcare, health and wellness, legal concerns, and access to essential resources. For that reason, Agape Holmes takes a whole-person approach. We work to understand each participant's individual circumstances and help connect them with appropriate resources and supportive services.
Our approach is guided by three principles:
Compassion. Stability. Independence.
Building for the Future
Agape Holmes Incorporation is working to develop housing-focused programs and supportive services that help eligible individuals and families move toward safe, stable, and permanent housing. Our developing programs are intended to promote participant choice, safety, dignity, self-sufficiency, and greater independence.
As we continue building our organizational capacity, we are also developing community partnerships and strengthening connections to housing providers, victim-service organizations, healthcare and behavioral-health providers, employers, legal resources, financial and educational resources, and other community-based services.
