About Adsum

Since 1983 the doors of Adsum have been open for women, children and female youth who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We are a non-profit, community-based organization working to improve the quality of life for individuals and families who are marginalized in our community.

It is our mission to support women and children and female youth in a client-centered, non-judgmental way; to provide services and housing - from crisis to stability - through short and longer term housing, programs and resources that offer safety and an opportunity for growth; and to advocate for women and children and to work to eliminate poverty and the societal conditions that create homelessness.    

Adsum’s vision is to be a recognized community leader devoted to reducing homelessness and promoting independent living for women and children and youth.

In striving to reach this mission and vision, we use our resources to support the dignity, worth and potential of every human being; to promote hope, security, self-esteem, free choice and participation in the betterment of one’s life; and to advocate and care for one another as members of the community.
