PUSH does much more than provide sustainable housing, but it also acts as a wraparound service by supporting members of our community in more ways than just one.

“When it comes to putting people into new jobs or putting people into a different direction, that entails the whole premise of what PUSH represents- being involved in the community and being a resource so that people can not only have a clean and healthy place to live but also the opportunity of taking work and a career.”
