The purpose of the OneHeart transformation campus is to elevate the human spirit and the spirit of the Rapid City community.
By providing transitional housing and co-locating a variety of services – from addiction and mental health counseling to life skills and job training – we can more efficiently, effectively and collectively help our neighbors without homes move into permanent housing and a better quality of life.
Empowering people to overcome crisis and achieve self-sustainability.
A uniquely supportive and collaborative approach to human transformation with a nearly 60% success rate.

With your support, we can provide meals, transportation, counseling, essentials and supplies, safe shelter and 24/7 support.
Your gift provides saftey, support, and hope to those who need it most.

Fundraising is one of the most powerful ways to support our mission. Whether it’s your birthday, or a community event — you can rally your friends, family, or followers to bring hope and education to individuals and families in need. Or attend one of our annual events.

Volunteering is more than giving your time — it’s giving your heart. Whether you’re helping with landscaping, various campus projects, or assisting with events, your effort fuels real, lasting change.

Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Through our “OneHeart Mini-Summits”, which is a deep-dive into OneHeart’s programming and attendees hear first-hand from OneHeart guests who are working hard to change their lives for the better.

All guests are referred to OneHeart by approved partner agencies. Every referral goes through a comprehensive review process that includes eligibility screening, background checks, pre-interviews, and an assessment of program fit. Acceptance is based on eligibility, program readiness, and available capacity.
Safety is a top priority at OneHeart, especially because many of our guests are women and children. All guests complete a screening process. Individuals with histories of violent or sexual offenses are not permitted on campus, helping to create a secure, stable environment where families can heal, grow, and succeed.
Lasting transformation takes time. OneHeart’s longitudinal studies show that guests who remain in the program for 12 months or longer achieve their personal goals at significantly higher rates than those who leave within the first few months. Long-term housing stability creates the foundation for employment, recovery, education, and family healing.
OneHeart provides more than housing. Through long-term housing, personalized programming, and a collaborative network of community partners, guests receive the comprehensive support needed to overcome crisis, build stability, and achieve lasting self-sufficiency.
OneHeart creates a safe, supportive environment where individuals and families can heal from crisis, build stability, and achieve lasting transformation.

Members of the OneHeart Transformation department have varied backgrounds, professional experiences, and interests, but they all share a passion for helping people.
Our Care Coordinators serve as “point persons” for our guests as they navigate their self-directed plans to move out of poverty and into permanent housing and self-sufficient lives.

Life Safety & Residential Support department is charged with keeping the campus secure, but – perhaps more importantly – these team members contribute to the supportive environment OneHeart aims to create for our guests.

With a 10-passenger van and full-time driver, OneHeart’s Transportation Program assists guests in obtaining and maintaining employment, getting to and from school, and making off-campus appointments when other transportation options are not reliable or available.

Our Positive Rental History program bridges the gap for OneHeart graduates with challenging rental histories, helping them build a positive a crucial step into the community, offering a supportive environment where participants can pay rent, work on securing permanent housing, and demonstrate their reliability to future landlords.

HomeBrew, our social enterprise coffee shop, invites the community to gather, connect, and enjoy delicious coffee, breakfast, lunches, and snacks. By supporting HomeBrew, you’re fostering community and sustainable opportunity – while helping OneHeart participants gain real job skills. In 2025-26 the coffee shop was 100% staffed by OneHeart guests and graduates.
“Being a single mom to three boys can be challenging at times, but knowing I am giving them opportunities I didn't have growing up makes being a cycle breaker incredibly encouraging.”
“You get here and you start to realize that needs are being met and you don’t have to worry about where food is coming from or where you’re going to be sleeping and so then the second symptom of being at OneHeart after you kind of relax is to be able to just have hopes and dreams again.”
Stories, insights, and reflections from the people and work at OneHeart.
