WHO WE ARE

Our Mission

Our Vision

To provide rehabilitation to the homeless and homeless veterans by empowering them to promote independence, sustainability, and well-being.

History

House of Freedom, located in Boynton, Oklahoma, is helping homeless and homeless veterans experiencing hunger and hopelessness in our community. This organization has been built on faith. Since we have started, we have demonstrated a steadfast grit and grind to help others in their crisis. House of Freedom is the only non-profit dedicated to homeless men in our area. Since our founding, House of Freedom has held to our original purpose of providing food, shelter, independence, and sustainability. We unapologetically believe in spiritual leadership for everyone who will enter our program. We only accept funding from organizations, and individuals that will allow us to continue spiritual leadership through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission has been to provide rehabilitation to homeless and homeless veterans, by empowering them to promote independence, sustainability, and well-being, and that will not change. Our main goal will be to continue to completely reincorporate our homeless and homeless veterans back into society, not just give them a handout but breaking the cycles of addiction, poverty, and hopelessness.

Overview

House of Freedom serves the homeless veteran communities of Oklahoma. Everyone we serve lives under the federal poverty line. The program that we have developed incorporates individuals and our community. Its purpose is to serve in our men's health through physical, mental, spiritual, and social development. We give individuals a safe place to develop not solely dependent on government funding, but also relies on dignity derived from work well-done volunteerism, and vibrant corporate connections. HOF firmly believes it is possible to build a better and more suitable place to develop if we are not solely dependent on government funds. Our services are free to anyone who qualifies and fits the criteria for the program. Our guests will receive hot meals, a safe place to live, in addition to a voluntary program that fully incorporates them back into society. We host events where the community can attend and learn valuable life skills, make friends, and hear from our staff and guests. It is part of our purpose to partner with the community and develop friendships and a better economic system for the communities we serve. We welcome and work with other agencies that are designed to alleviate the suffering of homeless and homeless veterans. The projects we have initiated involve churches of various denominations, businesses, government, and social services to make a sustainable impact on reducing poverty and homelessness. We depend on dedicated volunteers to provide a safe and healing environment for our men.

Life Changes

It is the goal of HOF to replicate a successful model to further future successes. With all of our guests putting maximum effort into their recovery, we believe that mentorship partnering with accountability and healthy relationships are extremely vital during and after completing our program. As our men progress through the program, these relationships form a bridge between HOF and the real world. This leads to forming a new safety net of healthy connections. Our program helps teach and show the importance of genuine connection in the community and church.
