Welcome Home Collaborative

The goal of the Welcome Home Collaborative (WHC) program is to assist our Program Participants in allowing the Holy Spirit to truly transform their lives.

We are a transitional housing program for the homeless, working poor, both individuals and families, who are looking for a second chance in life, and are committed to change and active in our program. Welcome Home Collaborative is a transitional housing program for the homeless, working poor and struggling families, who are looking for a second chance in life, by offering temporary housing in a pr

ogram environment that includes a Life Coach, and other program rules & procedures in order to achieve transformational change. Although WHC offers transitional housing, the main goal of our ministry is actually NOT about housing, but rather, transformational change. This will become a reality in many ways, including adherence to the 18-bullet point WHC Rules & Responsibilities that each Program Participant agrees to upon entry into the program and also in the relationships that are formed while in the program. However, key to transformational change is the bond formed between Life Coach and Program Participant. Using the Arizona Self-Sufficiency Matrix as a guide, the Program Participant and Life Coach work in collaboration together, to yield a Life Plan, which will contain at least ONE (1) long-term SMART goal. The difficult task of the Life Coach is not to do try actually achieve this change for the Program Participant (i.e., “projecting” or trying to “fix” a perceived problem for someone else), but rather, to assist the Program Participant to take the lead on this transformation (more accurately stated, to allow the Holy Spirit to work). WHC uses the master’s level textbook, “Motivational Interviewing” training our Life Coaches to use “MI techniques” in working with Program Participants.

Individual program participants are provided a private sleeping room in a house and share common areas with other program participants. Families are provided apartments or houses.

The program provides tools to help program participants build a solid foundation for life with a two-year program. All Individuals and Family Heads are assigned a trained Life Coach. The engagement of the Life Coach and the creation of a Life Plan are the main keys in helping program participants transform their lives and make real change.

A heartfelt thank you to Saint Ignatius of Loyola Church Project 5000 for their generosity in helping those in need.

We were truly in need of these supplies, and their support makes a meaningful difference. Having access to basic necessities helps ease the burden for our participants and allows them to focus on what matters most.

We’re incredibly grateful for your kindness and commitment to our community.

By supporting our work, you help create homes that inspire positive change and a desire for independence!

With the arrival of spring, many individuals experience the inclination to freshen their environment by opening windows, reducing clutter, and creating space for growth. At Welcome Home Collaborative, spring cleaning represents more than a seasonal activity—it plays a significant role in promoting healing, recovery, and sustained independence.

Why a Clean Home Supports Healing
A clean home can:
Reduce stress and anxiety
Create a sense of stability and predictability
Support healthier routines and habits
Build confidence and pride
Reinforce the belief that change is possible

How You Can Help
Our community plays a huge role in making this possible. Supporters can help by:
Donating cleaning supplies (mops, brooms, disinfectants, laundry soap, trash bags)
Sponsor Move In Ready starter kits for new participants
Contributing financially to support our Housing and Life Coaching program
Sharing this post to raise awareness

Every gift helps create a safe, clean, and dignified home where healing can begin. Thank you for your generosity!

We are overjoyed to welcome three new participants into the Welcome Home Collaborative affordable housing and life coach program over the last month.

Welcoming new participants also means relying on the much-needed help of our volunteers. Volunteers recently renovated the house on Race Street to accommodate an additional participant, creating a safe, comfortable space where they can feel at home and supported.

On behalf of Welcome Home Collaborative, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the Christmas gifts the staff and students of Walnut Hills High School so generously provided for our participants this year.

Your kindness reached far beyond the wrapping paper. Your gifts brought hope, dignity, and a sense of being remembered to individuals who often walk through the holidays without family or close support.

As we celebrate Giving Tuesday, we’re asking our supporters to consider making a gift that directly impacts families in the Welcome Home Collaborative program. Your generosity this year will provide help for our single mother participants; covering household expenses like utility bills, car insurance, and their children’s extracurricular activities.

You can help here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=JMSSJWZDRKXVC

Your support is especially meaningful during the holiday season. A contribution today helps lift that burden and gives our participants space to focus on what truly matters: creating a safe, steady, and hopeful future for themselves and their children.

Every gift, big or small, makes a real difference. If you’re able, please consider donating today to help us continue this life-changing work.

Thank you for believing in our mission and in the families we serve.

Our recent fundraiser was a beautiful reminder of what the community can do. Whether you joined us in person, donated, bid on a raffle basket, or simply helped spread the word—you made a difference.

The room was full, the energy was electric, and the stories shared through our Profile Project touched hearts. Together, we’re building a future where everyone has a place to call home.

From all of us at Welcome Home Collaborative: thank you for standing with us.
