...to reduce and end the tragedy of homelessness among families throughout all of Central Florida.
HOPE plans to address the problems of the working poor and homeless in a comprehensive, coordinated, and strategic fashion. To educate & change the way people think about the poor and homelessness in a way that compels them to action. We must publicize the need, promote the goal and provide the opportunity for change.
This will be accomplished by utilizing the collective abilities and resources of partners in local government, business, civic organizations, medical groups, state universities & community colleges. Together we will make a difference in the lives of those human beings who have fallen on hard times and/or are less fortunate, but still deserve to live in dignity.
We plan to effectively utilize those services that exist and to also establish new programs and services that are desperately needed, such as access to food, transportation, clothing, jobs & training programs in the rural areas of Central Florida, specifically Seminole County.
In line with our vision, we plan to continually work on educating & changing the way people think about the poor and homelessness. We will continually strive to advocate for the less fortunate in our society. To accomplish this goal, we host an annual outreach event called OneNow. This event brings to light the true issues that families in crisis face on a daily basis. We feel that it is only through changing the attitudes and perceptions of the local community that we can truly move forward in affecting change here in Central Florida and our Country.
