Mission
THE MISSION OF PROJECT HOPE ALLIANCE IS TO END THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS, ONE CHILD AT A TIME. OUR VISION IS EQUIPPING HOMELESS CHILDREN WITH THE TOOLS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN THEIR WAY TO A BETTER TOMORROW.
Program accomplishments
- Onsite and Offsite Case Management - the organization deploys a long-term, on-site intervention model for children and youth experiencing homelessness, who face obstacles that prevent them from accessing resources, being a kid, and achieving educational and life goals. They work one-on-one with kids, placing full-time case managers on elementary, junior high, and high school campuses. Case managers identify homeless students and remove barriers to their basic needs (such as food, clothing, or transportation). As stable and trusted adult mentors, they also conduct regular check-ins to provide educational support and facilitate connections to needed resources. (Case management for post-high school youth is provided individually and is not tied to a school campus.) The organization served 1,191 students during the fiscal year ending 6-30-2025.Expenses $2,798,823 · grants $320,355 · revenue $488,038
