Services

As survivors continue to grow in healing and stability, Hub of HOPE focuses on strengthening connections, expanding support systems, and creating opportunities for survivors to recognize and utilize their strengths, experiences, and leadership abilities. Survivors may choose to engage through volunteer opportunities, community involvement, peer support, advocacy, or sharing their lived experiences to help educate and inspire others. Each opportunity is based on the survivor’s readiness, goals, and personal journey.

As survivors continue their healing journey, the focus expands to building long-term stability, healthy relationships, and a strong support network. Advocates support survivors in securing permanent housing, continuing trauma-informed counseling and their recovery plan, developing life and social skills, engaging in the community, strengthening parenting and self-care skills, improving financial stability through budgeting, debt reduction, credit recovery, and savings, and navigating ongoing legal or justice advocacy needs.

During this phase, advocates typically meet with survivors monthly, with at least one in-person meeting each quarter. Services remain flexible and are guided by each survivor's goals, progress, and individual needs.

As survivors gain stability, the focus shifts toward long-term healing and self sufficiency. Advocates work alongside each survivor to develop a recovery plan and connect them with resources such as transitional housing, sustainable food resources, trauma-informed counseling, legal advocacy, medical, dental, and vision care, Survivor Support Groups, transportation, driver's license assistance, vocational or educational opportunities, budgeting, and childcare.

During this phase, advocates typically connect with survivors every other week, with at least one in-person meeting each month. Services are tailored to each survivor's goals, progress, and individual needs.

Our first priority is ensuring each survivor has a safe place to stay through a Housing First approach. Once immediate housing needs are addressed, advocates work with survivors to meet other essential needs through Hub of HOPE or our community partners, including food, clothing, emergency assistance, identification documents, healthcare, and health insurance. Establishing safety and stability creates the foundation for healing and long-term success

During this initial phase, advocates maintain regular contact through weekly meetings or phone calls, with at least one in-person meeting each month. The pace of services is guided by each survivor's unique needs, goals, and progress.

Survivors are connected to resources for therapy and counseling. We offer art and mindfulness therapeutic classes along with Support Group sessions.

Hub of HOPE offers weekly support group opportunities designed to foster connection, healing, and empowerment. Meetings include a shared meal, therapeutic art experiences, curriculum based workshops, and discussions on topics related to survivor healing, personal growth, and rebuilding a healthy future. The group provides a safe, supportive environment where survivors can connect with others who understand their experiences and continue their healing journey.

Volunteer advocates play an important role in supporting survivors as they navigate their healing journey. Advocates provide encouragement, connection, and practical support while helping survivors access resources and services based on their individual needs and goals. Through a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach, volunteer advocates walk alongside survivors by offering a consistent, compassionate presence and helping them navigate systems such as housing, healthcare, legal services, transportation, education, and other community resources.

Hub of HOPE provides safe transportation support for survivors when needed, including
transportation to a place of safety, appointments, and other essential services that support their healing and stability.

When a potential survivor is identified, a Hub of HOPE advocate meets with the individual to complete a human trafficking assessment. If the individual identifies with experiences related to human trafficking or is at risk of exploitation, the advocate will complete intake paperwork and begin the process of connecting them with Hub of HOPE’s survivor centered services and support.
