In the state of Rhode Island, Amos House offers the best chance out of homelessness. As Jessica Salter, Director of Development, notes, “There is not a whole lot you could need that you couldn’t find here or access through us.”
Amos House serves 15,000 clients a year, addressing their obstacles to employment through a comprehensive range of programs: culinary and carpentry job training; literacy education; credit and savings goals and budgeting; housing, recovery, and social services. The programs are anchored by their soup kitchen that began in 1976, and is the largest in the state.
