Home: A stable and safe place to live.
Purpose: Meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school, volunteerism, family caretaking, or creative endeavors, as well as independence, income, and resources to participate in society.
Community: Relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope.
