This award-winning film puts a face on the issue of family homelessness. Where God Left His Shoes was designed to engage and entertain, but it does much more. In preview screenings around the country, audiences have shared their passion for the film and, more importantly, voiced their desire to use the film to make a difference. Where God Left His Shoes exposes the reality of homelessness; a reality faced by hundreds of thousands of American families each year. 

Boise's Charitable Assistance To Community's Homeless (CATCH) program, now a nationally recognized, award-winning effort, rapidly re-houses homeless families and assists them with rent, case management, and connection to appropriate community resources for up to six months. Since its launch in November 2006, CATCH has housed and served almost 60 families with over 120 children. Approximately 84% of CATCH participants become self-sufficient within six months.

In November 2008, CATCH was honored by the National League of Cities and CH2MHill in Orlando, Florida with the Silver Award for Municipal Excellence.

About the Movie

• Where God Left His Shoes: When Frank, Angela, and their two children are evicted from their New York City apartment, they have no choice but to move into a homeless shelter. After a few difficult months, good news comes their way on Christmas Eve: a nearby housing project has an apartment available immediately. However, Frank needs a job on the books in order to qualify. While the rest of the city prepares for Christmas, Frank and his ten-year-old stepson, Justin, roam the cold streets of New York trying to find a job by day's end. Where God Left His Shoes is the story of a family that refuses to break apart during the darkest time of their lives and discovers that they will survive as long as they have each other.
