Sierra Roots

Mission Statement

Sierra Roots is committed to providing a secure and safe place for people who are chronically homeless. We employ a relationship-based approach that identifies individual needs and preserves the dignity of each person. Our goal is a community in which homeless people experience inclusion rather than isolation and where they can progress toward health and self-reliance. All Sierra Roots programs and services are guided by seven key values: Community Developing an ever-changing experience built on personal relationships Relationship Human one-to-one exchange in deep listening and discernment Health Cultivating a healing community that promotes health of body, mind, spirit Justice Restoring relationship with community Dignity The right of a person to be valued and respected for their own sake Natural world Reciprocity and gratitude with all living beings Collaboration Working together to create a healthy community that honors our similarities and differences
