HOPES Center is very pleased to announce that it has received a grant award for its Street Outreach work from the Racine Community Foundation. Recognizing the worth and dignity of each person, HOPES helps people end their homelessness. The Racine Community Foundation plays a big role in our ability to do this.

Street Outreach is a service specifically for people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Racine County, meaning that they sleep "on the streets" in places not meant for human habitation. HOPES has small street outreach teams that go out a 3 - 4 nights per week to meet people where are on the streets. The people our teams meet either cannot or choose not to enter shelter or temporary housing for a wide variety of reasons. The teams provide basic assistance, information on services available in Racine, and offer connections and assistance in finding a path off the streets and out of homelessness. We are extremely grateful for the foundation's partnership in helping us do that.
