Village of Hope campus
129 W. Cone Avenue
(between Martin Luther King Jr., and G Streets)

Years of vision casting, hard work, and planning have culminated in realizing a place where people who have experienced homelessness are receiving hope and care in a loving environment.

Village of Hope, Phase I, opened for residents on Friday, March 4th, 2022. Phase I houses our Hope Respite Care program, Hope for Veterans program, and our Hope for Families program. Phase II, the faith-based side of campus, will provide a building for our Hope for Men and Women program and space for a computer lab, classrooms, a chapel, and offices.
