About us

Founded in 2013, “Home Base” is an NGO committed to supporting homeless individuals across Israel and guiding their transition back into society. Story by story, we aim to strengthen civil society in Israel.

The Home Base Association gives homeless individuals in Israel an opportunity to rehabilitate their lives using a new and holistic model that helps to bridge  their return into society. We use various tools in order to create a personal  connection with each participant, in addition to forming a community which gives them a sense of belonging and raises their self esteem. Through the personal and communal connections,  we make a significant change in the lives of the homeless in Israel.

The Social Challenge

According to official reports, there are 2,500 homeless individuals in Israel, however, non profit organizations report a much higher number, possibly even thousands more than the official record. This population suffers from a myriad of challenges including; isolation, distrust of public institutions, addiction, employment problems, and severe poverty.
