There is a growing epidemic in our country – elderly women and men are becoming homeless at an alarming rate. Many sleep in their cars (or anywhere they can) simply because of limited income. Others have a home but they live alone, in an unsafe way. Some get help from the government or family. Many don’t.
After more than a year of prayer and planning, the House of Hope 316 (in Prescott Valley) opened the first house in 2019, the second in 2021, the third in 2023, the 4th in 2024, and 5th in 2025. They are all adult independent homes, providing a room, meals, and other services to the elderly. But they are more than that. They are a place where the residents can feel safe and loved and become part of a family. We can now house and feed up to 35 elderly residents at any one time.
Due to limited school funds Teachers purchase a lot of their own supplies for classroom bulletin boards, decorations, and fun learning activities. We help supplement T.E.C.C. in Chino Valley so the teachers don't have to spend their money. We also want to bless them with much needed classroom supplies for their students.
