At ImpactHK we have a vision for an inclusive Hong Kong where everyone has a safe place to call home and cares for their neighbour.

Our mission is to work with people experiencing homelessness to help them settle in a safe home, restore their mental and physical wellbeing, build their self-esteem and social capital and discover their purpose.

To do this we:

  • Provide direct holistic support to people experiencing homelessness and empower them to transform their lives
  • Build community connections to increase collective understanding of homelessness and empathy towards the people who experience it
  • Stand up with those who lack the basic human right to safe housing

 

Our beliefs

1. Start with strengths

Everyone has skills and gifts to offer the community and the capacity to learn and grow. So we focus on building people’s strengths, instead of dwelling on what they lack

2. Experience vs identity

We are inclusive and believe that homelessness should be and often is a temporary experience, not an inherent part of someone’s identity. It can happen to anyone and does not define a person

3. Put clients first
