Our House

Our House Our House empowers homeless and near-homeless families and individuals to succeed in life! Check out our Resale Store at !

Since 1987, Our House has been a one-stop resource for homeless and near-homeless families and individuals in Central Arkansas. Located on a 7-acre campus in Little Rock, Arkansas, Our House is a comprehensive program for men, women, children, and families. At this single location, clients can access shelter, transitional housing, childcare, after-school programs, adult education, workforce traini

ng, meals, counseling and many other services. Our goal in offering these programs is to provide all of the tools and resources that an individual would need to exit homelessness permanently. Our House works with parents and children equally to help whole families build the skills they need to break the cycle of poverty. Full-time employment is at the cornerstone of our vision for empowering our clients to achieve lasting self-sufficiency and independence, and our Career Center works with thousands of individuals each year to find jobs and build fulfilling careers. At Our House, we are committed to helping our clients achieve their goals and become active members of the community!

“I wouldn’t be where I am without Our House. Going homeless was always one of my biggest fears.”

We're honored to be featured in the Blue & You Foundation's 25 Weeks of Gratitude series, highlighting Tammi's journey from homelessness to stability. Tammi, who has been legally blind since birth, arrived at Our House after facing housing instability and uncertainty about what would come next. There, she met Ezell, a Disability Coordinator whose role was initially funded by Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield's Blue & You Foundation.

We had such a great week of volunteer service at Our House! A huge thank you to the volunteers from Southminster Presbyterian Church of Prairie Village, Youth Crossroads, Inc., KARK 4 News, and General Motors for spending time on our campus last week. From sorting donations and supporting our Resale Stores to preparing meals in the Shelter and tackling other important projects, your hard work made a real difference!

Interested in volunteering? Our greatest need right now is for groups to provide meals in our Shelter. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, sharing a meal is a meaningful way to connect with residents and make an immediate impact. Contact us at 501-374-7383 ext. 184 to learn more!
