House of Hope

It’s the next chapter for My Friend’s House as we expand our commitment to supporting women and children beyond crisis. And it’s the next chapter for the women and children we serve. A place where healing continues, independence grows, and new beginnings become
possible.

We are deeply grateful to Christopher Hoffmann and
Joan Eakin for believing in this vision. Their generosity is helping turn the page toward a future filled with hope, opportunity, and lasting change.

We’re so excited to share that House of Hope has welcomed its first women and children. Our six bedroom second-stage home will provide women and children with safe accommodation for up to twelve months while they work toward permanent housing and greater independence. During their stay, residents will continue to receive individualized plans of support and access to outreach-based resources, including life-skills development, employment readiness programming, financial literacy education, parenting support, and therapeutic counselling.

Through the generous support of our community, and a transformational gift, this new home has transformed an idea into a tangible solution for women and children in our community and it comes at a critical time. This past year, we answered over 7,000 crisis calls and turned turn away 558 women and children.

House of Hope marks the beginning of a new chapter for us as an organization and for the women and children who will walk through its doors, it offers the opportunity to begin their next one.
