MISSION
We heal the e ects of poverty and homelessness by providing permanent housing solutions and vital support services to vulnerable families and individuals.
VISION
We envision a world in which everyone has a place to call home and the support of a strong community, so that they can live with dignity and reach their full potential.
VALUES
We are committed to excellence and we accomplish our work with integrity, respect, compassion, and humility.
THE HEART OF HOUSING AND SERVICES
At Hope Solutions we are working to end homelessness. Our housing-first approach, coupled with supportive services, brings dignity to our clients, and helps them rebuild their community. Our data-backed and proven model of support is grounded on quality, permanent housing solutions, and individualized services.
OUR APPROACH: HOUSING. HEALING. HOPE.
At Hope Solutions, we believe that ending homelessness and poverty begins with one essential foundation: a safe, stable home.
But housing alone isn’t enough. That’s why we combine permanent housing with wraparound, trauma-informed support services that help individuals and families not only stabilize but begin to thrive.
Our approach addresses the root causes of poverty, homelessness, and generational trauma, o ering everything from mental health care and employment support to youth enrichment and family reunification.
As a proud partner in the Contra Costa County Continuum of Care, Hope Solutions’ programs are referral-based, ensuring that resources are coordinated countywide and that individuals and families are connected to the right housing solution for their needs.
EXPLORE OUR SOLUTIONS:
• Housing that heals: Permanent supportive housing with wraparound care
• Support that builds stability: Helping people remain housed and grow towards independence
• Breaking the cycle: Youth and young adult programs that create new pathways forward
• New beginnings & second chances: For families facing sudden housing loss or people returning from the corrections system we o er pathways to stability
• Stopping homelessness before it starts: Helping families stay safely housed and preventing homelessness altogether
• Fast transitions from crisis to stability: Quickly resolving homelessness through rapid rehousing and short-term supports
• Long-term solutions: Advocacy, systems change, and housing development
