HOPE, Our Emergency Shelter for Families

HOPE Community is designed to assist families during brief periods of homelessness. We provide dorm style rooms, 3 meals a day, a laundry mat, and most importantly, housing counseling.  We do have high expectations for families. These include:

  • Every family (whom we call neighbors) are expected to do a daily chore – it is your home away from home
  • School-aged children attend school and we offer after-school programming
  • All families are assigned a counselor who will work with you on a housing plan
  • Families must treat each other and our staff with dignity and respect
  • Families must have proof that they live in our region (Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, Madison, Liberty, Jackson or Franklin)

Veteran Support Services

It’s perhaps a best kept secret that we are the single largest nonprofit in our area working to provide affordable housing to veterans that were formerly homeless.  We currently operate one 54-unit affordable housing site for veterans, and also help veterans and their families to find housing and support services – from mattresses to rental subsidies.  Our vision is this: we believe that our community can end veteran homelessness and we plan to be a part of that effort by expanding our footprint of affordable housing for veterans.
