Hillcrest solves homelessness by helping people reclaim their life situations and regain their self-sufficiency.

In our flagship program, clients receive rent- and utility-free housing while agreeing to follow program guidelines, find and maintain full-time employment, attend life skills classes, participate in community living, and follow a strict budget plan. Hillcrest graduates leave the program with the tools needed to maintain their independence and success. Read some of their stories here.

Hillcrest is the most successful program of its kind in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, and has been recognized for best practices by the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Learn more about Hillcrest Transitional Housing here.
