Hope House is a homeless shelter, rapid re-housing facility, and permanent supportive housing provider. Originally created in 1987 by a collaborative effort of five local churches to address homelessness on Milwaukee’s south side, Hope House has evolved from a short-term shelter into a multi-faceted organization serving those experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity across Milwaukee. Through transitional shelter, rent assistance, long-term supportive housing, education and health programming, Hope House serves 6,000+ people a year, including 200 families experiencing or on the brink of homelessness.
