Small Sums
Small Sums provides the support workers need to say yes to the job and the resources to move them toward long-term stability.
Our Mission is to outfit individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness with the work gear, tools, training, and transportation they need to start a new job.
Our Vision is a world where everyone has equal opportunity for economic and housing stability that leads to transformed communities.
Our Work is:
- Simple
- We believe employment is a key factor in helping individuals experiencing homelessness become housed.
- Practical
- We know it doesn’t take much to remove obstacles that can prevent a worker experiencing homelessness from taking a job. Something as practical as work clothes, shoes, and a bus pass is often all that is needed.
- Powerful
- We provide workers experiencing homelessness with what they need to begin working. Access to financial independence and security is a powerful catalyst for change.
Our Values:
- Accessibility
- We make common resources obtainable for anyone.
- Opportunity
- We believe everyone deserves a first and next chance.
- Equity
- We are dedicated to leveling the institutional playing fields.
