In March, we shared with you a snap-shot of the impact that programs and facilities on our Village of Hope campus have had since opening in March of 2022. Later this summer we expect to break ground. New facilities will expand the Mission’s ability to provide space for people experiencing homelessness to recover from hospitalization as we work to help them find permanent housing.

A two-story building with 40 studio apartments will provide space to accommodate many of the participants in the Mission’s Transition to Hope program. Transition to Hope is a program for graduates of our faith-based Hope for Men and Women’s program. Transition to Hope provides homes where participants experience a sober living environment (SLE). The Mission works to help participants find jobs or pursue further education and continues service coordination and counseling. In the Transition to Hope program participants take on responsibilities to become self-sufficient by paying their own way. Some of the participants in this program are referred by the County Probation Department and work to build a new life and a brighter future. Locating a portion of this program on the Village of Hope campus will be a welcomed addition.
