Hope House is a 90-day shelter program serving families, couples and single females experiencing homelessness throughout Manitowoc County.  We develop individualized plans to identify and address any barriers that may be getting in the way of living independently.

​

Homelessness is a never-ending issue in our community. Homeless is not something someone wishes they could be. It is an issue that is caused by poverty, broken family relationships and multiple circumstances. Everyone's story is unique.

​​

Unfortunately, many communities including ours have seen an unprecedented increase in homelessness due to a lack of affordable and accessible housing, and childcare. 

​

Services Provided:

• Overnight accommodations (up to 90 days)

• Weekly case management

• Referrals to community agencies

• Supportive listening

• Job search assistance if needed

• Life skills education

• Basic budget counseling

• Assistance with completion of GED/HSED

• Access to public transportation & bus passes

• Home With Hope after care program

​

Residents must be willing to follow program guidelines, including curfew. We do not serve victims actively fleeing domestic violence and we do not serve single men as there are other agencies in the community equipped to serve them. Hope House doesn’t allow residents to use drugs or alcohol while enrolled in shelter programming. For the safety of all of our residents, we conduct background checks on all adults entering the program, and do not accept anyone with recent history of violence or any history of violence against children.
