The HOWE Project

The Earnest House is grateful to receive the Community Engagement & Impact Award on this small business Saturday!

Thank you to Pima County for recognizing this work and to our community who shows up for us, believes in second chances, and helps create safe places to land.

But truly… this award belongs to our residents. They are the ones doing the hard work…choosing change, showing up every day, and writing new chapters for their lives. That’s the real impact.

We’re just grateful to walk beside them.

Today, The Earnest House was honored to host Governor Katie Hobbs and her incredible team as they toured our newest transitional home. Thanks to a generous small business loan from Groundswell Capital and the CIC, we’ve been able to expand our mission and open this home, providing support to 17 individuals on their recovery journey. During the visit, our staff had the opportunity to share their personal stories and how our program has positively impacted their lives.

But, this home represents more than just a roof over someone’s head; it has the capacity to alleviate over 6,000 nights of homelessness annually in our community.

Today’s visit highlights the power of investing in local organizations, enabling us to tackle challenges like homelessness and recovery.
