DO GOOD ON PURPOSE

Do Good On Purpose is a charitable organization dedicated to providing a path to homeownership for individuals experiencing homelessness. Our unique program combines volunteer service with supportive housing, enabling participants to earn their own tiny homes through community service.

Our mission is to empower individuals experiencing homelessness to achieve homeownership and stability through dedicated volunteerism and mutual support, fostering a sense of purpose and community.

Our program consists of two stages: the Starter Village and the Good Samaritan Tiny Home Homeownership Program. Participants start in the Starter Village, where they receive support and stability, and then transition to the Good Samaritan Tiny Home Homeownership Program, where they earn a tiny home through volunteer service.

The Starter Village provides immediate shelter and support for individuals who have recently completed rehabilitation for drug or alcohol abuse. It includes one-room units, communal facilities, and access to life skills workshops and mental health support.

Participants typically stay in the Starter Village for 6 to 12 months, depending on their progress and readiness to move to the Homeownership Program.

In the Homeownership Program, participants volunteer at least 21 hours per week with locally approved charity organizations. Over two years, they earn "mortgage credits" towards the ownership of a tiny home in one of our villages.

Participants earn their tiny home by completing a total of 2,100 hours of volunteer service over two years. These hours are converted into mortgage credits, which are used to acquire their tiny home.

Eligible participants must be drug-free, not engaged in alcohol abuse, and have completed a certified rehabilitation program. Proof of completion and a commitment to maintaining sobriety are required.

Interested individuals can apply by contacting us directly through our website or by phone. Our team will guide applicants through the process and provide necessary information.

Applicants must provide certified proof of their most recent rehabilitation completion (if applicable), personal identification, and any other documents requested during the application process.

The Starter Village features free-standing, 8' x 10' one-room units with keyed entrance doors, a Community Center with a kitchen, dining room, and meeting rooms, and a beautiful Communal Garden.
