What is the Center of Hope?
The Center of Hope is a comprehensive solution, modeling a public/private partnership that leverages a 325-bed low-barrier emergency shelter, 72-bed permanent supportive housing, onsite medical and dental care, alongside an award-winning 175-bed drug and alcohol rehabilitation center – all at one location – a campus of freedom, a very Center of Hope.
The campus, includes four distinct facilities comprising over 190,000 square feet of program space on 6.9 acres. The campus will transition thousands of homeless individuals annually from a life on the streets to a life of sustainable physical, emotional and spiritual health and ultimate autonomy.
The result will be transformed lives, safer neighborhoods and business districts, and the real prospect of an end to chronic homelessness in our community.
