Our Mission: To care for homeless and at-risk persons by providing life-sustaining and life-rebuilding services that are comprehensive and address underlying causes. There is more to dealing with the homeless than simply providing food and shelter. Over time, the number of poor people in this country has grown. At the same time, the number of affordable housing units has declined. That means that the competition to get into these housing units has become much more fierce. Those who lose out in that competition tend to be those who have the most difficulty competing, including people with addictions and/or mental health issues. For these reasons, the Hope Center, pursuant to its mandate from the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, has sought to address the multiple issues affecting the homeless population. Since 1993, it has developed a variety of programs to do just that, and those programs have helped thousands of men and women escape homelessness and rebuild their lives.
