As you are planning your year-end giving, please include HOPE

Your donations make a huge impact.

Your giving helps to assure that HOPE is able to provide services that help people beyond keeping them alive: 

  • safe and judgement-free shelter,
  • clean and comfortable place to sleep
  • warm showers in a warm environment
  • basic needs and seasonally appropriate clothing
  • well-trained staff
  • effective advocacy and case management that leads to a resolution to their experience with homelessness.
  • and so much more that is needed by the guests


QUESTION:  Do government grants provide for all the needs of the shelter?


ANSWER: Grants only cover about 60% of the cost of operating the shelter. To fully care for the guests, HOPE needs additional private donors to help with the remaining 40%.

Donors like you are so important. HOPE needs the support of so many people.


Your giving makes a huge difference!


Being fully funded empowers HOPE to go beyond the basic needs. HOPE is very innovative

  • low barrier shelter (meeting people where they are)
  • no judgement
  • trauma informed care
  • on-site care management
  • inviting other service providers into the shelter
  • Naloxone training to save lives
  • AED training to save lives
  • Recuperative Care Shelter
  • Peer Support Specialist program

These innovative aspects of HOPE help to drive better outcomes for our shelter guests.

Each year, more than 250 guests exit the shelter to a place they can call home.

HOPE guests gave a recidivism rate typically 5% or less.


Each year, more than 250 shelter guests exist the shelter to a place they can call home. The HOPE recidivism rate is less than 5%. HOPE achieves high ratings even though we start with the toughest cases (low barrier), receive guests on an emergency basis (in real time, not based on a daily check-in over several days), and we do not operate our own housing agency (we collaborate with other agencies). 


HOPE is innovative in the approach to sheltering: 

* Low barrier shelter (no required sobriety, no required background check, no required ID)

* Recuperative Care (when someone a place to recuperate when they have been  discharged to home, but do not have a home where that can rest, follow doctors orders, and heal from an injury, a surgery, or lengthy illness requiring a safe calm environment.) 

* Staff training (shelter staff are trained in Trauma Informed Care, De-escalation Techniques, Naloxone use to save lives from drug overdose, AED use to shock a heart back into rhythm, and a customer service mindset to help keep guests engaged longer so that we can resolve their homelessness).

* In-house case Service Navigators (case managers) to help guests discover their particular plan of action to meet their needs to resolve their experience with homelessness permanently. 

* Ongoing access to help to help guests remain in their new home and to continue progressing along their new path to a better life. 

Your gift helps support all of this. 

Thank you!
