Hope House provides transitional housing for homeless women and children in the cities of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, King George, Stafford and Caroline counties. With the expansion of its facilities scheduled for December 2010, Hope House will be able to provide transitional housing for up to 16 mothers and 42 children.
Its mission is to break the cycle of homelessness which keeps disadvantaged mothers and children at risk without shelter. Residents at Hope House can stay for up to two years, but residency is restricted to mothers with children or mothers who are pregnant. Hope House also has on-site, licensed childcare facilities so that resident mothers may seek employment opportunities.
