Emergency Services
Sisters 4 Hope Foundation’s emergency shelter is scheduled to open in August 2021 and will be open to 80 people each night. While residing at the shelter, guests will receive three meals a day, are assigned an individualized case plan to follow, have access to the laundry room, and can use the client’s phone, etc.
Additionally, Sister 4 Hope’s main location offers free meals, case management services, and basic needs to any woman in need (known as day guests), between 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. daily. If the temperature drops below 45 degrees or there is a severe weather emergency (hurricane, tornado, etc.), Sisters 4 Hope Foundation has been approved to open as a Cold Night Shelter, in which we have space for an extra 60 clients.
Middle Passage
Middle Passage is our transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency and is scheduled to open Spring 2022.
Middle Passage provides affordable housing in a communal setting to working single women and mothers with children. Middle Passage’s communal setting is available for rent, where residents get their own room and bathroom but share a kitchen, living room, and laundry with other tenants. Each family works with a case manager to design a plan to move to self-sufficiency. Low-income families who cannot afford market rent, benefits from this set-up since they work as a community to achieve similar goals. The extended time up to 12 months, families can stay at Middle Passage, combined with their case manager partnership, will allow mothers to pursue education and skills training, and thus increase their incomes.
Our program requires a commitment to the following:
- Faith Development through attendance of group bible studies.
- Service through participation in community service projects.
- Seeking and obtaining stable employment and/or developing a trade or job discipline.
- Abstaining from substance abuse of alcohol, drugs, and other items as appropriate.
- Following a proposed self-development plan given by staff.
- Payment of a monthly program fee.
Booster’s House
Booster’s House is a long-term housing program scheduled to open Fall 2022.
Booster’s House will assist homeless working individuals whose goal is to become self-sufficient. Since affordable housing is difficult to find in Texas, the program at times also invites persons who receive disability income to apply. Some residents use the program for a short time, then move on to private housing. Others, who have fixed incomes, will have the opportunity to remain a resident of Booster’s House long-term. Residents with have the option of 1–3-bedroom apartments depending on family size and will work with case managers based on their personalized case plans.
