House of Hope, Inc., 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to HOH: We are a faith-based, temporary homeless shelter serving Danville, Virginia and Pittsylvania County. For the past 10 years, the House of Hope has provided a safe refuge for those who don’t have a place to stay and who are in need of transitional assistance. The costly roof repair, supported by the grant, allowed us to provide a safe and secure environment for our guests. The grant allowed the shelter to focus its operational budget on helping those in need.
