Future
The future goals of this organization is two-fold:
First:
To purchase ($176 to rent 12 pax van for 4 hours) a vehicle to transport homeless workers to areas in need of our assistance not serviced by the city, such as Brooklyn, and South Baltimore areas. In February 2023, the Baltimore Mayor kicked off the Clean Corps Initiative. The Clean Corps neighborhoods are Arlington, Broadway East, Coldstream Homestead Montebello, Darley Park, Druid Heights, East Baltimore Midway, Four by Four, Greenspring, Carrollton Ridge, Druid Heights, Fayette Street Outreach, Franklin Square, Harlem Park, Penn North, Sandtown Winchester, Upton, and Westport.
Second:
Affordable Housing
The Recovery Oasis initiative is a partnership between Baltimore city Youth Architectural Design Collaborative (BCYADC) and WeAre4 non-profits. The initiative will provide affordable and sustainable first-time home buying and rental opportunities to men and women transforming from homeless to homebound while providing an environment conductive to sustaining lifelong recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.
15 Pax vehicle needed to expand our reach.

As a nonprofit that does not accept government assistance, we rely on YOU to fund our programs aimed at helping the homeless of Maryland living in the streets.
YOUR IMPACT
Your generous donation helps provide a meal to our homeless and will fund our future initiative to provide our homeless friends opportunities into the workforce by enabling access to local businesses to learn skills needed to regain jobs, housing, and self-confidence. By design, we accept no government assistance so we can do everything we can to help the homeless become self-sufficient. Your donation will directly help people find jobs and leave the streets with confidence for good.
