Homes of Hope

Homes of Hope is a transitional housing program offered by Love INC and a network of area churches that provides a caring and supportive environment for homeless families in the face of economic hardship to gain self-sufficiency and permanent housing, while seeing God's love, growing hope, and preserving dignity.

Program participants find themselves surrounded by a supportive team living out God’s love, educational classes, and access to pantries with material goods to meet basic needs.
