House of Dreams Independent Living 

“Restoring Dignity, Rebuilding Lives.”

Prepared By: Director Nasira Johnson, Former Law Enforcement Officer and Founder of Multi-Site Recovery Housing Programs

Mission Statement

At House of Dreams, we believe that housing is not a privilege — it is a human right. Our mission is to provide safe, inclusive, and supportive transitional living for marginalized and underserved populations — including the mentally ill, physically disabled, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and the unhoused. With structure rooted in compassion, safety, clinical care, and faith, our homes create space for people to recover, regroup, and reimagine their lives.

Populations We Serve

• Adults (18+) experiencing chronic or situational homelessness

• Individuals living with mental health diagnoses (bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, anxiety, etc.)

• Persons with physical or cognitive disabilities

• Members of the LGBTQIA+ community needing affirming housing

• Those transitioning out of incarceration, foster care, or group homes

Intake & Assessment Process

Conducted jointly by the Director/Founder Nasira Johnson

”Stabilize. Assess. Plan.”

Purpose:

To address immediate housing, safety, mental health, and stability needs.

Long-Term or Short-Term Housing

“Rebuild. Thrive. Launch.”

Purpose:

Support residents in building a sustainable life through care, community, structure, and empowerment.

Resident House Rules (Core Expectations):

• No drugs, alcohol, weapons, or violence — zero tolerance.

• Respect for personal identity, space, and culture.

• Curfew and quiet hours enforced for safety and structure.

Our Future: Global Expansion

Starting in California, House of Dreams will expand to:

• Atlanta, GA

• Newark, NJ

• Chicago, IL

• Johannesburg, South Africa (pilot international home)

Our mission is global because homelessness, trauma, and exclusion don’t recognize borders — and neither does God’s grace.

“When society discards them, we embrace them. Where others see broken, we see becoming. House of Dreams isn’t just housing — it’s holy ground. It’s where people rediscover their worth.”

— Nasira Johnson, Founder & Director
