About Us
This is not a place where you come to get a hand-out. It’s a place where you come to get a hand-up.”
– Joe, former resident.
Hospitality House enables the transition from crisis to stability, from poverty to sustainability, and from homelessness to housing.
At Hospitality House we offer much more than bed and bread. We are a place where self-worth is reclaimed, passion is rediscovered, and souls are redeemed.
Approximately 80% of homeless individuals only experience homelessness once. The services we provide, with the support of partnering agencies, help ensure that those who leave Hospitality House will have the resources to be self-sufficient.
Our Mission
The mission of Hospitality House is to rebuild lives and strengthen community by providing a safe, nurturing, healthy environment in which individuals and families experiencing homelessness and poverty-related crises are equipped to become self-sufficient and productive.

“I sleep with my mom in a family room. I like it here because we have a refrigerator. If this place wasn’t here I would be separated from my mom.”
– Gauge, 10 years old
“I received help from Hospitality House back in 1991 and I just wanted to say thanks for the help. I went on to educate myself and became a successful software engineer. Keep up the good work!”
