Our Why
Hope and Healing for Michigan Families
Our Mission…
…is to bring hope, promote change, and help people live free, healthy, and productive lives.
Our Values
Faith in Action
Trust
Trust is gained with our clients and stakeholders as we consistently demonstrate honesty, transparency, integrity, ability, strength, and trustworthiness in all we do.
Care/Connection
We accept and care for our clients, coworkers, and stakeholders without judgment, regardless of their actions or behaviors. We maintain an attitude of complete support and love.
Responsibility
We respond to what life brings and requires of us, instead of avoiding it, putting the blame on someone else, or reacting unhealthily because we lack the skills or abilities to respond. We finish our tasks and help others to do the same.
Respect
We show regard for clients, coworkers, and stakeholders’ abilities and worth. We value their feelings and their views, even if we don’t necessarily agree with them. We accept everyone on an equal basis and give them the same consideration we would expect
for ourselves. Respect begins with oneself.

Justice
We have a preference for serving the neediest and most vulnerable. We provide opportunity and quality service to all regardless of age, gender, lifestyle, cultural or ethnic background, religious beliefs, social or economic status.
Advocacy
As an agency, Holy Cross advocates at local, State, and national levels on behalf of persons served, young adults, families, and persons experiencing homelessness for the allocation of adequate resources to meet their basic physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social needs.
Dignity
We respect the inherent dignity and worth of every person, recognizing people’s social relationships to one another and the central role of the family in human life and in society.
Excellence
We are committed to developing a community of dedicated professionals and to recognizing excellence and innovation in our performance of person served-centered services.
Service
We are committed to shaping the quality of our services by bringing together people who recognize that every interaction is a unique opportunity to serve each other, the community, and society, as an expression of our identity.
