Center of Hope

The word ‘Hope’ is defined as a feeling of expectation and desire for certain things to happen, and with our dedicated staff, life-changing outcomes can happen when you enter our Center of Hope.

Our doors are open daily to single adults, families, seniors, and the disabled who have no other option for safe shelter. Keeping with our mission “to meet human needs without discrimination,” we not only offer dormitory-style housing for single guests and apartments for families, but we provide showers and hot meals.


Our care does not end there.

Our Center of Hope also provides help for those in need of:

  • Social services

  • Affordable housing
  • Workforce development
  • Rental, electricity and transportation assistance
