Artists Helping the Homeless, Inc., (AHH) was founded in 2008 with 501(c)3 status to fund a Sunday night meal program through art events and sales. As AHH learned the stories and needs of the homeless, they discovered they could link them with resources to help them.
The agency was created by Kar Woo, a local businessman and artist whose gallery was near the park. For Woo, who majored in psychology in college, this program brought together his business, art and psychology training.

Clients can also seek support with getting connected to domestic violence services by coming to the Coalition’s Crisis Intervention Program.
Domestic violence can take many forms and it involves behavior that is used to establish power and control over another person. This is often done through fear and intimidation over a period of time, using threats and verbal, emotional, or physical abuse. Domestic violence can happen to anyone and everyone deserves to feel safe and respected.
