St. Joseph Center's varied programs have developed over the years in response to the changing needs of the community we serve. We now offer ten programs at seven different Westside locations. We offer a helping hand, but always with the utmost respect for the dignity inherent in every person. Each of our programs, from childcare for impoverished families to money management for homeless veterans, illustrates our motto: Planting Hope, Growing Lives.

Our ten programs are organized into three continuums of care:

The Homeless Services Continuum helps people meet their most basic needs and, when they are ready, assists them with the move from the street into shelters, transitional housing, and permanent housing. Programs include: Homeless Service Center, Bread and Roses Café, Affordable Housing Services, and Senior Services.

The Family Services Continuum serves low-income families and individuals with programs designed to help them achieve lasting self-sufficiency. Programs include: Culinary Training Program, Early Learning Center, Family Center and Food Pantry Program, and Infant Toddler Development Center.

The Money Management Services Continuum provides individuals suffering from mental illness and substance abuse with representative payee services and ongoing financial counseling. St. Joseph Center's program for military veterans has become a national model for the Veterans Administration. Programs include: Monetary Advisory Program and Veterans Representative Payee Program.
