Providing a Home for a Season
Hope House is Christian ministry, providing licensed long-term residential care where youth from disrupted circumstances are respected, valued, and loved as individuals. We provide a safe space, a solid education, therapeutic support, and complete care.
Hope House serves children between the ages of ten (10) and seventeen (17) from all areas of the United States, although the vast majority, come from the western United States. Children from other countries may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
We believe that our youth are not here by accident; they are created on purpose and with a purpose. Our goal is to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where healing can take place through a unique combination of faith, shared accountability, and therapeutic skill-building.
Meeting the Needs of Our Kids
Our mission at Hope House is to provide a home-like, family atmosphere where, through love, structured activities, appropriate discipline, educational and vocational opportunities, and people who will listen, young people can reach their fullest potential.
Hope House will strive to ensure that the emotional and social needs of all children and youths are met. To this end, Hope House contracts with appropriate Psychiatric, Psychological, Medical, and Counseling professionals for all children and youths needing these services. Hope House also provides activities and outings designed to provide for the development of appropriate social skills.
Hope House will strive to ensure that the physical needs of all children and youth are met. To this end, Hope House contracts with many local physicians, dentists, optometrists, and other professionals to provide for health care, medication management, and other medical needs. Hope House also employs cooks who provide healthy, nutritionally balanced meals.
Hope House will strive to meet the spiritual needs of all children and youth. Hope House is a non-denominational Christian organization. Its staff strives to live the principals of love and brotherhood found in scripture. Hope House will not force any child or youth to make religious commitments; however, we will encourage them, and aid them, if requested, to find peace and forgiveness through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
*Hope House attends worship services regularly at the Chapel of Hope and occasionally visits other congregations. Hope House also offers a chaplaincy service available to all children, youth and staff to provide religious instruction, counsel, and nurture.
