Our Mission ...Rebuilding hope through Housing Opportunities for families and individuals with Support services during Transitions

Of those in shelter on a given night in Kent County, 33% are men, 30% are women, and 37% are children.
An estimated 15-20% of the homeless people in Kent County are chronically homeless. This is much above the national average of 10%!
On average, an eviction process costs the landlord, tenant and court system $3,000; when eviction results in the tenant's homelessness the cost of shelter and other emergency services then begins to accrue for the community as well.
Yearly, more than $4.5 million in federal housing funds support homeless shelters and services in Kent County. More than $5 million in additional public and private funding is spent yearly to support the homeless system in Kent County.
