Project Home

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible moms in Project Home Trust — women who are building stability, possibility, and brighter futures for their families every single day.

A huge thank you to United Way of Southern Maine for these beautiful gift baskets from The Holy Donut, helping us share some much-deserved joy with our Trust moms this weekend. 😍💛

When we invest in moms, the impact reaches far beyond one person. It supports children, strengthens families, and helps create the foundation every household deserves: stability, dignity, and care.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in our Project Home community! We see you, we celebrate you, and we’re cheering you on.

Big congratulations to Brian Goldstone on receiving the Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction for There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.

We were honored to host Brian in Portland this March for a powerful conversation about housing instability and homelessness.

His work shines a light on the growing reality of the working homeless and working poor—people who are employed, raising families, and still unable to afford housing and basic necessities. This is what Project Home sees every day here in Maine.

Too often, homelessness is imagined only as tents or shelters. But much of housing instability is invisible: families living in cars or motels, doubling up with others, or living one unexpected expense away from eviction.

A special thank you to Nicole Witherbee of the John T. Gorman Foundation, who guided the conversation with such thoughtfulness, compassion, and insight.

We’re also grateful to our partners at Mechanics' Hall and Print: A Bookstore for helping bring this important discussion to our community.

Congratulations again, Brian—and thank you for helping make these stories visible.
