Oasis of Hope is a shelter AND a program for families and individuals to be safe while overcome housing barriers, find jobs and become self-reliant.
Our success, one person at a time, has helped just under 100 families a year find a safe and warm place to live. These families have found jobs, stability and great success and improvement to their emergency living situations, many in tents and cars. All have been literally homeless. Some have been forgotten and neglected by the systems of care. Our case managers work tirelessly to connect future opportunities for housing and income, local and regional resources to protect and assist our families for years to come.
We participate in state data collection and HUD best practices. While we are able to expand our outreach as our funding expands, sharing help to even more families across North Michigan.
Our dream is to retire our mortgage and hire more staff to work with our families. Eventually we would like to invest in the transitional housing for families to rent while they are becoming more stable.
All donations are tax deductible and support the food, care, warmth, clothing, supervision and supplies for the families that come to our shelter. Every life matters. Everyone deserves to be warm, fed and safe.
