Organization Information
Mission Statement
We change lives and communities by custom designing and furnishing home interiors for individuals, families and veterans emerging from homelessness.
Description
Our mission is to change lives and communities by transforming houses into homes for those emerging from homelessness.
With warehouses filled with donated furniture and household goods, we turn empty houses into clean, dignified, and welcoming homes for the recently homeless so that families can begin again. Our services help provide our clients with sanctuary, stability, and hope -- a critical element in ending the cycle of homelessness. It would take an average Humble client 18 years to save enough money to furnish a home in the way we do in just a few hours.
What started as a small endeavor has now blossomed into a national nonprofit and a worldwide movement of empathy for those who feel unseen. Humble Design is revolutionizing the way we approach homelessness by providing not just shelter, but also hope, dignity, and a fresh start. The impact is astounding-families who have been touched by Humble Design now boast an incredible 99% success rate of remaining in their homes, breaking the cycle of homelessness.
