You have made it possible, because of your support and Generosity 34 families were provided shelter and all their basic needs in 2025!
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Based on data in early 2025, child abuse remains a significant, underreported issue, with over 500,000 victims in the USA alone. Roughly 50% of unhoused youth stem from abusive households, who- for their own safety, had to run. We at The Village of Hope ask that you help us raise awareness by donating First-Aid/Health supplies, donating to local child advocacy organizations, and educating yourself and your family on how to spot signs of physical, mental, and sexual abuse in our youth.

the cycle of
homelessness
Homelessness doesn’t take a break,
so neither do we.
WE ARE AN EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
We work with the families who seek shelter with us so much more beyond putting a roof over their heads. We work with them to identify and achieve their goals and dreams. We give them the tools and connections they need to move from homelessness into a home they can call their own.
"I did not think I was going to make it through another day and then you called."
Statement from a grandma raising her granddaughter...
We slept wherever we could—sometimes in shelters, sometimes in places that weren’t safe, and often in environments that challenged my sobriety. I was trying so hard to heal, to stay clean, but we didn’t have the luxury of choosing where we landed.
​
Then, the shelter stepped in and helped us secure an apartment. And now, for the first time in her life, my granddaughter has her own room. Her own bed. Her own space to dream, to breathe, to grow. Because after everything, she finally has a door she can close- Without showing her I was excited that she could tell me to get out of her room, she felt safe!
