ABOUT
Shepherds oF Good Hope
We foster hope and reduce harm in our city. Shepherds of Good Hope support people experiencing homelessness by providing a continuum of care – from three square meals a day, to emergency beds and health care, to supportive permanent homes – as soon as they come through our doors. Here’s what we accomplished in 2022 alone:
Meals served in all programs
People used our shelter for at least one night
People in permanent supportive homes
