Community Partners

Four Pillars

Pillar Partners are the cornerstone of Dave’s House, upholding the foundation of our mission to end homelessness for men and women with serious mental illness. Each “Pillar” represents a key value that is crucial to the success of our residents:

Stability: Providing stability for individuals navigating serious mental illness.
Security: Ensuring safety and refuge for those seeking support within our community.
Self-Confidence: Fostering empowerment through resilience-building programs.
Independence: Empowering individuals to pursue their goals and dreams.

At our event, each Pillar Partner will be honored with a front table pillar and recognized during the program for their annual commitment. After the event, their continued support will also be featured on the Dave’s House website, symbolizing the strength and solidarity they bring to our organization year-round.
