GOAL 1: LAUNCHING OUR NEW TRANSITIONAL SHELTER
GOAL 2: EXPANDING HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM
The program is a proactive approach to ending homelessness before it even begins. By working with families to prevent eviction, help them apply for eligible public benefits, and mediate with their landlords through rental assistance and payment plans, they keep their housing and stability through this crisis. Although 296%more families were served in 2020, we know that the need far exceeds the resources available for families — to keep them housed — and home.
AN INNOVATIVE COLLABORATION Door of Hope will operate its life-
changing transitional housing program Beacon Housing will own and maintain the 6,000+ sq. ft. property
PREVENTION IS THE KEY …to ending homelessness for more families!
2021 will be the first year we operate our new transitional shelter program at Casa de Alegria. Since 1999, Casa de Alegria, a Beacon Housing property, has provided a 6,000+ square foot transitional living facility for women and children survivors of domestic violence. Beacon Housing has offered Door of Hope the opportunity of a lifetime — to operate our life-changing transitional housing program at Casa, while Beacon Housing will maintain the property. We will begin sheltering new families in February and anticipate this new shelter will be full by March. Each parent will enroll in a vocational education or training program, and we are delighted to begin offering scholarships to residents thanks to an Educational Scholarship Fund seeded by a generous donor.
Door of Hope will exceed 2020’s expansion of our homelessness prevention program by offering assistance to 145 new families in 2021
“ After exhausting every resource imaginable, I was so down. I didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. I was literally penniless and on the verge of eviction when I was referred to Door of Hope. I explained my situation and for the first time felt heard and not hopeless. I was approved for rental assistance and case management. I’m so grateful for the help. Without it I don’t know where I would be. —Mia, Homelessness Prevention Client ”
