We Make It Our Mission to Make a Difference

Mission

The Harry Tompson Center provides a calm and caring environment in which to serve the needs of unhoused individuals in New Orleans.

Our staff and volunteers are dedicated to improving the quality of life for all those who come to us in need, not only by responding to physical needs, but also by attending to the whole person with respect and compassion.

Philosophy

We believe… 

• in meeting the needs of our unhoused guests with kindness and dignity.

• in the healing powers of smiles, hugs, and knowing a friend’s name. 

• in the power of a loving community

• everyone deserves to have their basic needs met 

• everyone deserves to have a home.
