Over the years, COMPASS has become well known as a place where men and women looking for work, who also happen to be homeless or otherwise in crisis, can find compassionate direction on their path to employment. It is also known as an agency that helps with critical ?direct assistance?, particularly in the areas of transportation and identification.
