Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Service Organizations, Human Services
Mission: We are moving people from crisis to lifelong self-sufficiency. We help the homeless and marginalized people in our community navigate through the services available to become self-supporting contributing members of our community. We help them with medical services and medicine to help them get to a healthy state both physically and mentally. We then help them overcome any obstacles or addictions they have hindering their success. Once they become stable we help them find appropriate and safe housing. Then we have them enter our success community where they receive ongoing life skills training and lifelong mentoring.
Target demographics: We help the homeless and people on the verge of becoming homeless.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 2738 contact with clients, Moved to self-sufficiency 70 last year for total of 600.
Geographic areas served: Harris County TX
Programs: Client outreach - our staff reach out to the homeless where they are living, we met over 1000 clients sleeping in areas not meant for people to sleep. We also have volunteer groups from local churches continuing to do outreach for us every saturday. We partner with several different organizations who do weekly outreach. They call hope haven when their clients are ready to get off the streets. We have currently placed over 200 individuals in temporary or permanent housing situations.
client transition - we navigate our clients through a path to mental and physical stability. We help those struggling to overcome drug and alcohol addictions to gain admission into detox, rehab, and mental health centers to become stable. We help others find transitional living. Then we move people from transitional living to supportive housing or help them find work and secure housing through traditional methods.
next step of hope - mentoring program - once a client reaches some sort of stability, we find them 3 volunteers who agree to be accountability partners, mentors, and friends to our client. To do this we use volunteer resources in our community, local churches, and organizations to find stable individuals who just want to step up to be a friend to someone trying to better themselves. This serves to multiply our team efforts by using volunteers to keep a closer eye on our friends seeking to move to better circumstances in life. They are our early detection method of knowing when we need to step back into a client's life to more aggressively work with them to prevent them from ever going back to their old habits. This is to help keep our recidivism rates lower. It keeps our clients moving in a positive direction and provides a support system when things don't go as planned.
