HH now temporarily relocated
Following the success of our capital campaign, we have bought the building at 610 W Division St and are moving ahead with our renovation plans.
Thanks to all of you who continue to contribute to Hope Harbor financially, in kind or with your muscle and sweat during our recent move and on an ongoing basis. Without you we could not be taking the steps to improve our facilities in order to better serve the neeeds of our City.
Out temporary facility is located at 1910 West 9th St in Grand Island. We are grateful to the county who has kindly agreed to allow us to use their facilities at a fraction of the cost while we transition our home.
We are finalizing plans with our contractors and renovations are scheduled to begin soon. Hopefully we will be able to stay on track and return to our newly refurbished home by the end of the year.

WHO ARE THE HOMELESS
"Families, single mothers, and children make up the largest group of people who are homeless in rural areas."(Vissing, 1996)
The largest growing percentage of the homeless population is families with children. This population of the homeless has doubled twice since 1989. The average age of a homeless person is 9 years old. Of those served by Hope Harbor, 63% were families with children. Of the total served by Hope Harbor, 59% were children.
