Shameka Samuel
Founder & Operator
I started this business because I see a lot of people experiencing homelessness. I've been in the nursing business for 32 years taking care of people, and I didn't want to retire without helping my community with a big impact — removing people off the streets. I love all people, and I just want to do everything in my power to get people off the streets into a clean, safe, and structured place to call home.
