On the Journey Toward a Home

The Place of Hope addresses the core problems leading to
homelessness such as: unemployment, poor health, substance
abuse, mental illness, and lack of education. By establishing
relationships with participants, showing interest and under-
standing of their situation, and partnering with other agencies
in the community, the Place of Hope is able to help individuals
get off the streets and into a home.

To some people, homelessness is a way of life. They know
where to go to get a shower, a meal, even a pair of socks.
While the Place of Hope provides basic services to people who
are homeless, it strives to forge a deeper relationship and
address the reasons behind homelessness. The deeper
relationship takes time and trust.

Basic Services: Place of Hope provides mail, showers, laundry
services, lockers, restrooms, telephone, and assistance
obtaining identification documents.

Back on Track: An advanced level provides intense case
management to help participants get substance abuse or mental
health treatment, long-term housing, legal servcies and more.
