2015-2016 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends,
As a valued supporter of Hope House, it is our pleasure to provide you with this annual report which highlights the important work we were able to accomplish in 2016. This report is our way of thanking you – our donors and supporters – for assisting us in our life-saving work. Within these pages, we’ll highlight our successes and share with you the impact of your support. Without your support, our staff would not have been able to accomplish all of the amazing things we accomplished in this fiscal year.
This year we expanded our life-saving programs, provided housing at our two emergency shelters and continued our comprehensive outreach services. We launched two new outreach programs to assist our clients. Through our Permanent Housing Program, our new advocate is helping people transition to permanent housing. Our Outreach Advocate is working hard to assist individuals with their case management needs through our new Outreach Advocacy Program.
We are excited about this past year and look forward to continuing this work in the upcoming year. As always, we continue to listen to the needs of our clients and work to provide the most comprehensive and supportive services to assist them in their journey to a life free of abuse. We know that the client’s journey will be filled with ups and downs, as will our journey. We will continue to walk with them and support them through their ups and downs, taking comfort in knowing that you, our supporters, are walking beside us and supporting us on our journey.
