Mission Statement
Resurrection House is a forward thinking, faith-based resource center for the homeless committed to transitioning at-risk individuals to a path of self-sufficiency.
We follow the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 25 every day. We treat everyone with dignity, compassion, caring, and love.

Funding
Now in our 36th year of operation, Resurrection House does not accept funding from the city, county, state or federal government. Donations from individuals, businesses, foundations and religious groups form the core of our operating budget.
Resurrection House is eligible to receive DAF (donor advised funds) grants or when you need to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA. TAX ID/EIN: 65-0096171

Volunteers Make The Difference
Operating with only a small paid staff, it is our volunteers that allows Resurrection House to provide its multitude of services to an ever-increasing number of clients. The volunteers not only donate their time but also bring caring and compassion that are instrumental in providing a nurturing and respectful atmosphere.
-
Faith Based
Resurrection House was founded in 1989 by six downtown churches. Not surprisingly, we minister to the poorest of the poor and attempt to facilitate their return to an accepting and accommodating society. Over thirty religious entities contribute to the success enjoyed by Resurrection House.
