“For the first time I felt like I had someone to lean on, someone who truly wanted me to be successful, and it made me feel happy enough to work hard for more in my life.”

Need to Unlock Opportunities
More and more people are experiencing homelessness nationwide (more than 550,000 people on any given night), and nearly a quarter of them live in California.
- One of the leading causes of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing.
- Families with children make up 34% of all people experiencing homelessness.
- Seniors are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population, with an annual increase of 20%.
- Veterans account for 11% of the homeless population.
National CORE and Hope through Housing provide permanent supportive housing for vulnerable populations, including individuals experiencing homelessness, veterans, developmentally disabled adults, and transitional age youth.
“The goal of unlocking opportunities is to ensure that the most vulnerable in our society have safe, affordable, and quality housing paired with a strong support system that helps residents recover from homelessness, build supportive networks, and establish strategies for success.”
~AJ Galka-Gonyeau, Director of PSH and Residential Services
How we Unlock Opportunities
In partnership with National CORE and collaboration with county and state homeless coordination efforts, Hope through Housing provides access to vital resources, helping individuals experiencing homelessness remain housed.
Focusing first on housing stability, Hope through Housing gives residents the space and clarity needed to address basic needs and medical, mental, and financial health. With a supportive community and individual coaching, residents then begin the process of developing strong supportive networks and start moving towards their long-term dreams and aspirations.
