In December, New Castle County purchased the former Sheraton hotel, now
called the Hope Center. The vision was to welcome those experiencing homelessness into a temporary shelter for the winter. The county invited us to run programming out of this location, as we know the clientele well. We ensure all guests have access to food and transportation to their appointments and work. Our program also includes access to case management along with medical assistance, mental help professionals, and substance abuse counselors.

Our program also includes access to case management along with medical assistance, mental help professionals, and substance abuse counselors.As of February 10, we had 166 guests filling 105 rooms. Our goal is to secure permanent housing for our guests and keep them from returning to the street. If you or someone you know could benefit from this service please leave a voicemail or text 1-833-FIND-BED.
We are always looking for more volunteers or donations. If you’re interested in volunteering at the Hope Center, please email volunteer@friendshiphousede.org. From monetary donations, click here to donate now!
