On Thursday, One Hopeful Place celebrated the grand opening of the women’s residence with a ribbon cutting.
One Hopeful Place opened in May 2016 as a Men’s 20 bed shelter. Since then, over 200 men who needed just a little assistance in turning their lives around, have been given the opportunity to utilize the amenities.
- In late 2020, One Hopeful Place completed Phase II, which increased the occupancy to 50 men.
- For the last four years, One Hopeful Place has served as our area’s only cold night shelter, serviced by our local churches and team of wonderful volunteers.
“Community Solutions and Bridgeway Center have been planning for over 10 years to be able to create a shelter for single women. We are so pleased that our first female resident arrived on March 22, 2021.” Says Lisa Jo Spencer, Chair of Community Solutions. “The eleven bed women’s shelter will now serve that very underserviced demographic of single women down on their luck”.
