TAKE ACTION! GIVE BACK WEEK: Charity: Homes with Hope

December 21, 2013 0 Comments

I heard about this charity on the Pete Dominick show this past week and it sounds like a great grass-roots, community oriented charity service. They provide homes and supportive services to help homeless folks not be homeless and to work again. I don’t think they have expanded too far out from a couple communities but I know they are focused on expanding and providing their take on the fight against homeless to communities around the country. Homelessness is a problem in all communities, no matter how small. And in the “greatest, richest” country that has ever existed, its a shame that homelessness is a problem at all. Everyone deserves shelter and a chance at work. You could help bring this great, community oriented organization to Atlanta!

Mission

Homes with Hope, a not-for-profit agency with an IRS 501(c)(3) designation, is a local grassroots response to the tragedy of homelessness. With a caring professional staff and the help of more than 400 volunteers, Homes with Hope assists people who have lost their ability to lead normal lives. Formerly known as the Interfaith Housing Association of Westport & Weston, Homes with Hope’s mission is to provide facilities and supportive services in a structured environment that enable homeless people in the communities we serve to achieve an independent and self-sufficient life. We will accomplish this through permanent supportive housing, casework and supportive services, emergency shelter, food and meals and the life skills training critical in preventing homelessness from reoccurring.
