OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple: to end homelessness. We achieve that goal by removing the typical barriers that keep people from getting help and providing them with safe shelter, effective services, and permanent housing solutions.  

OUR VISION

Our staff, volunteers, and donors work together to make GRACE the best-choice shelter and service center for our guests, volunteers, and donors, and to earn widespread community support.

​Our comprehensive services meet people where they are and cover the basic necessities of life, including housing, healthcare, and employment. 

There are no requirements and no barriers to getting help here. Our campus gives people the space and security to get back on their feet and on with their lives.

​TRAUMA-INFORMED

At GRACE, we treat everyone with safety and respect.

We know that each person has different needs, and we have a variety of different services for every stage. We are there for immediate needs, comprehensive help over the long haul, and support even after a person has found housing.

Connect people to helpful programs that improve outcomes for families, children, veterans, students, and employees with our comprehensive platform built on the nation’s largest and most engaged social care network.

Search and connect to support—financial assistance, food pantries, medical care, and other free or reduced-cost.

Hope Florida serves as a connection point for community collaboration between the public and private sector, faith-based communities, and nonprofits. Through the efforts of our Hope Navigators, we are going beyond government to create a pathway for Floridians to live up to their God-given potential and accomplish the American Dream – ultimately achieving prosperity and economic self-sufficiency.
