For 35 years, Hope House Mission has been sheltering men, women and children by providing a healthy and safe environment, nutritious meals, clothing, personal care items and referrals and collaboration with other organizations to promote long-term self-sufficiency in housing. We are committed to empowering individuals and families to sustain independence and self-sufficiency in permanent housing through cohesive and comprehensive programming designed with the needs of the people we serve in mind. We assist 400 to 500 men, women and children in our shelters every year and serve approximately 125 hot meals each day. Case management, counseling and individualized care are at the core of our program. These include physical and mental health care, classes, transportation, employment training and more. Through partnerships with other agencies, in-house licensed counselors and case managers work with residents every step of the way to provide resources tailored to each individual’s needs. These licensed professionals identify and mitigate mental and physical health issues, assist with addiction recovery, pay deposits, and acquire identification documents or other records necessary for employment and for housing.
