Village of Hope provides safe, secure emergency housing for families 24 hours/day ~ 7 days a week. We are open 365 days a year. The environment that a family experiencing homeless comes into is very important. We work to create a calm, safe environment in which families can build a future. Families can stay with us for 90 days, as long as they are actively looking for housing. Each family has their own apartment. This preserves the family unit and provides privacy. - Emergency shelter - Meals - Laundry facilities - Shower facilities - Information and referral - Advocacy ?
