Ending homelessness two generations at a time.

10/15/2026

At Home of Hope, we're providing the tools to transform lives two generations at a time. Because homelessness doesn't have to be the end of their story!

“Home of Hope has a lot of heart and offers so much more than a shelter. They provide a consistent place to sleep in a positive environment, prepare meals, provide necessities, teach life skills and facilitate wraparound services. Their holistic approach to helping families navigate the path from homelessness to self-sufficiency makes all the difference.” — Kathryn Kieser, president and board chair of The Primerica Foundation

Healing takes time.

Homelessness isn't just a lack of shelter. It’s an ongoing mental and emotional burden that touches every part of a family's life.

When mothers and children come to Home of Hope, their trauma, anxiety or depression doesn't disappear overnight. But through counseling support and consistent care, families can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“All of my money went towards hotel rooms,” she told us. “My son and I survived, but it was frustrating because I really wanted my own place. I was basically paying somebody else’s rent and barely having money in my pocket.”

For almost a year, she and her son had been living in and out of hotel rooms or a car. She wanted more for herself, her young son and the child she was expecting. She experienced toxic relationships and toxic friendships.

She could've been given a handout. But instead, at Home of Hope, she was given a hand-up.

“Being [at Home of Hope] helps you open your eyes up to know your own worth, to know what type of people you need in your life and what type of people you don’t," she said.

"It has changed my whole mindset — the way I think and the way I am, even towards people and relationships. It’s changed my life.”

At Home of Hope, her family never went to bed hungry. Her home was clean. Her family stayed together.

Home of Hope isn't here just to offer a roof over a family's head. We're here to support the dignity of every family.

Through the gift of something simple like a mop or a box of crackers, you're sharing dignity. You're sharing hope!

Allie Samaan reached out to Home of Hope earlier this year to see if she could serve through her Eagle project. Volunteer Coordinator Samantha Pryor responded with a few ways Allie could help. One was building a pavilion on an existing, but rarely used, concrete slab outside the cafeteria.

“I thought there was something special and exciting about [moms and kids] having more space to connect and spend time outdoors with each other,” she said. “I was just thinking about the potential [a new pavilion] would have.”

She sketched the blueprints for the pavilion, raised money, rallied volunteers, collected donated materials and connected with a contractor to help.

This summer, the pavilion was completed. Now Home of Hope has a beautiful outdoor eating area where moms, kids and visitors can enjoy the changing season. And projects like these remind moms here at Home of Hope that their community sees, cares about and is for them.

“It makes me feel honored that I could help be a tiny part of their mission,” Allie said. “What [Home of Hope] is doing for families, not only within the shelter but in the community, has a really big impact.

“I hope my project will help families create more memories and foster a place of more community.”

Scouting America’s motto is “Do a Good Turn Daily.” To Allie Samaan, these aren’t just words to recite. They’re words to live by.

In January, Allie contacted Home of Hope.

She needed to partner with a nonprofit organization for her Eagle Project in Scouting America. And she knew the one she wanted to help!

In fourth grade, Allie became a Cub Scout. Through her brothers’ and her own involvement in Scouting, she heard about Home of Hope and later toured the facility.

Now, as a high schooler, Allie has moved through the Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) ranks, but she hasn’t forgotten the needs she first heard about on the tour.

“I really like the mission of supporting women and children,” she said. “When I was looking at places and opportunities for an Eagle Project, I knew I wanted to contact [Home of Hope] because it’s just amazing and a big part of the community.”
