To build hope and healthy families through a helping hand program of structured housing. Allowing families with children to remain together in a safe and decent living environment so that they may grow strong, become self-reliant, transform their lives, and crush the cycle of homelessness and poverty. false false 1085927 687631 253541 Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH):Our experience with transitional housing led us to understand and acknowledge that some households are not reasonably able to "pull themselves up by the bootstraps and become self-sufficient in the time-frame allotted in a transitional program. In fact, this may not be an appropriate goal due to health, mental health, or other factors beyond the individual's control. For these households we provide permanent housing as long as they meet the requirements of the program. 139061 24924 79693 Transitional Housing (TH):Transitional Housing was our first program and is still key to what COH does. This program allows families to have supportive services while stabilizing in a safe and affordable home. The fees for this program pay for services, rent, and utilities. This fee is based on income and is not more than 30% of the total income of the household. 137477 141006 Hope Housing Services (HHS):Considering the increasing gap between typical household income and the average cost of housing in Brevard, Community of Hope does not have the inventory to meet the needs of families in Brevard. We are increasing our inventory as indicated in the goals and objectives below. However, we are also working with private landlords by helping families secure funding that helps offset the expense of market based housing and providing case management services. 12078 1286 1374543 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 96 0 true 9 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true false false X Bartow Willingham 3214740966 4515 S Babcock St Palm Bay FL 32905 X Drew Warren Chief Executive Director 40.00 0.00 67673 0 0 David Young President 20.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tracy Masters Vice President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Hewatt 2nd Vice Presid 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alyssa Buchanan Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bartow Willingham Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bryan Becker Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Blair Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Brown Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Brown Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Judy Dolan-Wood Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Hall Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sylvia Herdt Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Hopper Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Megan Howard Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Ledford Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Rogers Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mable Williams Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 67673 0 false false false 0 804101 231420 16281 1035521 Perm.

Tree Ridge X 25000 11464 false false false 11464 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Safe Overnight Stay (S.O.S.):This program started in 2017 with a single unit dedicated to very short-term shelter leading to housing. The program proved to be effective and easily scalable, even in the face of a pandemic that significantly decreased shelter options throughout the county. S.O.S. has grown through community support and partnerships to include options for elderly adults and youth and young adults. We piloted this program with the Homeless Coalition serving 69 people in our first year. In 2020 Community of Hope S.O.S alone sheltered over 230 people and this number was magnified by those served by partner agencies. As we move into 2022 we anticipate continuing growth in this program. Perhaps more importantly, this program does not just shelter households but results in the vast majority attaining long-term, stable housing solution (92%).Ready for Hope (RFH):RFH is a version of our S.O.S. program run in conjunction with our partner agency, Ready for Life. Ready for Life specializes in providing wrap-around services to transition aged youth (age 18 to 34), especially those who aged out of foster care. Community of Hope provides shelter, housing case management, and housing assistance to these youth, allowing Ready for Life to focus on other supports and assistance needed to stabilize the client and prepare them for independence and success. This program was new the second half of 2021 but has already been successful in sheltering and housing several of these vulnerable youths. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Land of Hope CLT:Over the past two years, we have laid the groundwork for our newest program the Land of Hope Community Land Trust. We have not only set up the infrastructure for this program but also accomplished state-wide certification for the program. The CLT model allows us to acquire and hold land/property for permanent affordability. These properties can be used for both rental and home-ownership but must always serve households under 80% AMI. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Mosaic Outreach Services:This outreach program started as a collaboration with Mosaic Church, a service-oriented church focusing largely on the needs of the homeless. Unfortunately, the church closed but COH has continued this service and the name, honoring the Christ-Like spirit of this church. We go out in the community to work with the homeless where they are, provide for basic needs and help them find housing options.
