Our new Hope Ministries Men’s Supportive Housing Campus includes 24 units for men we’ve previously served and a live-in housing supervisor. In addition to offering an affordable housing option, the campus provides a sense of community for like-minded men who are committed to sobriety and accountability. We also offer ongoing supportive services for men as they continue their recovery journey and save up for future permanent housing.
