Hope University: Support Services

The path towards Hope begins in a supportive community. Hope University at Room In The Inn connects individuals experiencing homelessness with essential services year-round in our Activity Center. In addition, the Activity Center provides a comfortable space to escape the heat or cold and to build community through programs hosted throughout the day.

Our operating hours are:
April - October
Monday-Friday, 6am-2pm
November - March
Monday-Friday, 6am-4pm
Restrooms available Saturday-Sunday, 6am-8am

Navigation
Our goal is to help you navigate the systems in the city as we support you on your journey towards housing. Navigation is an opportunity to sit down one-on-one with a staff member and make a plan for your goals. We can help you obtain important documents (birth certificates, social security cards, and IDs), determine what type of housing is best for you, and connect you with outside agencies for more resources.
