20 Years of Serving Manitowoc County Homeless
 
Hope House of Manitowoc County is celebrating 20 years of service to the homeless families. We started in 2005 as a rotating homeless shelter from church to church. This transferred into a location at St Boniface Church for several years. In 2017 the Board made the decision to have a permanent site at 1000 South 35th Street, Manitowoc.
 
We now have room for 35 individuals in our house. We have common areas: living room, dining room, playroom and laundry room. We are very pleased to welcome and assist our homeless residents through case management, life skills training, service searches and other independent living preparations. Their school age children are in school during the day, which gives the parent time to work and time to reach out to services and participate in case management.
 
As a 90-day program we assist, and move the family into independence as soon as they are ready. The barrier to independence is the availability of housing. Our $20 for 20 years of service campaign will help us provide services and items needed by our families. Click Here for more information.
