Hope House Family Navigation Program
Thriving Futures Begin Here
Hope House Family Navigation program is an intensive, whole-family program that aims to support and empower families to reach their full potential. Hope House, in partnership with families, community service providers, and other local resources provides coaching, education and skill building, and supports the development of social connections that promote resilience and breaks the cycle of poverty.
Families will be required to commit to weekly coaching and a cohort-based program, Navigating Thriving Futures, as well as maintain a healthy, clean, and safe home. Housing in Charlottesville/Albemarle and program services are provided—families must remit a nominal fee monthly to remain in the program.
Applicants must 1) be homeless or imminently homeless; 2) be a parent of dependent children in their custody; 3) be a resident of MACAA’s service area for at least six months; 4) work at least part time or be enrolled in a qualified post-secondary educational program; 5) possess the legal documents to work in the Unites States; and, 6) be free of criminal convictions.
