Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission & Vision
Good Samaritan Home’s Mission is to reduce housing insecurity in Boise by providing permanent housing, meals and community to low-income adults.
Our Vision is to end homelessness in the Treasure Valley and enhance health and stability for all. We at GSH believe every person should have an opportunity to fulfill their basic needs regardless of limitations, disadvantages, trauma or lack of opportunity.
When each person’s needs are met, we understand and recognize the enhancement of our community through equity, resilience and economic opportunity. Good Samaritan Home does not and shall never discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin disability, marital status, sexual orientation or military status.
The Good Samaritan Home Way
These are values that we commit ourselves to:
Be Humble.
Life is full of twists and turns, and there is always more to learn. instead of being experts, we should view people and situations as opportunities to grow. As humans, we all make mistakes at some point. The key is to take accountability for them so we can learn from them and continue to develop.
Keep taking care of yourself to better help others.
Ending homelessness is a long-term process, not a quick fix. It is important that every member of the team is committed to improving their own well-being whether that’s restoring or enhancing it. This is not an option but a necessity to achieve our goals.
Stay mission focused.
Our mission is to facilitate access to housing, a fundamental human right. We remain steadfast in our commitment, disregarding any divergences that may arise.
Be reliable and transparent.
We strongly believe in being authentic in both our professional and personal interactions, making use of our resources. Our team strives to remain solution oriented and accountable at all times.
Build each other up.
Our Team is like a group of cheerleaders always ready to collaborate and encourage each other, which fosters a culture of fun and joy. We firmly believe that tackling homelessness requires a community that embraces diversity and shares life experiences. Only then can we work together to find the most effective solutions.
