WELL develops relationships with people affected by poverty, striving to understand each individual's needs and to give hope for a better tomorrow. Housing is only one component. Our collaboration with other service providers helps our clients find employment

, return to school, seek counseling, attend life skills meetings, and reconnect with the communities in which they live. Accountability is key to our clients' success. Caseworkers make home visits to clients on a monthly basis for one year providing support and encouragement. WELL's deeply individualized approach accounts for our high success rate in helping people break the cycle of poverty and homelessness. WELL has housed over 400 clients since 2013, and 95% of these clients are now self-sufficient! WELL needs greater resources to impact even more people whose lives have been stricken by poverty. We want to help even more people in the Kansas City area. Nadine Farris is the Executive Director of WELL with a background in health and fitness.

Our Organization WELL Inc. has housed homeless individuals who have aged out of foster care.

Phillip Hurd aged out of Foster Care. We housed him and he remains self sufficient and employed.

Many individuals aging out of Foster Care end up in homeless shelters.

The organization providing the housing has since made headlines.
