Community Outreach
Hope Restored was founded in 2018 in Lake Stevens Washington as a community based outreach. Hope restored is focused on seeing people move beyond the point of needing relief. We do this by partnering with neighborhoods to help overcome barriers and achieve goals through community development, support and relationships.
Hope Restoreds efforts are target specific; focusing on people who qualify for Safe parking, transitional housing re-entry programs. We share the story, not the problem - one family, one person at a time. We share their journey; and work together to better the community as a whole
Advocacy and communication is critical to our success. We invest time getting to know leaders in the community, what they do, and what their challenges are. The leaders in the community inherently become part of a unified coalition for rehabilitation and development aspects to the needs of the community. Together we learn how businesses, churches, and non-profits could benefit by collaborating with existing successful programs instead of starting new programs of their own.
Our Cars to Homes Initiative is an innovative 90-day safe parking + rehousing program for families experiencing homelessness. One third of unsheltered people in Snohomish County live in their vehicles. Many of them are families. With few vacancies in most emergency shelters, an increasing number of families choose to
live together in their vehicles so that
they can stay together. Our Cars to shelter program addresses the issue by providing these families with the valuable combination of safe parking and case management services. Our goal is simple: To help these clients transition into stable permanent housing or other shelter units within 90 days.
Our Transitional Housing is for people on the journey out of homelessness; our transitional housing programs offer a supportive environment with an emphasis on stabilizing income and addressing barriers to housing. Through case management and counseling, guests develop the life skills necessary to secure permanent housing while living in a supportive, stable environment. We develop relationships, support systems, and communities for the most vulnerable members in the community.
David Harmon, Hope Restored’s founder, plays an important role in combating poverty and homelessness through their local associations and community-based emergency cold weather shelters, the Everett Faith in Action (EFIA) and the County Executive’s Faith Round-table (CEFR). At EFIA and CEFR David Harmon’s burden for his neighbors increased along with greater motivation along from promising ideas for the community to do more for those in our community affected by poverty and homelessness; to not just provide relief but ways to keep those struggling financially from falling into poverty and homelessness and to provide a path for those in poverty and homelessness to find wellness of being. Hope Restored has also developed working relationships with the Everett Gospel Mission and the Snohomish County Executive’s Office. The Everett Gospel Mission is recognized
as a community leader in poverty alleviation and mitigating homelessness through its variety of programs including a day center, providing meals, food, clothing, and showers for those experiencing homelessness, a Men’s Mission, and Women and Children’s Shelter providing emergency shelter and wrap around rehabilitation services, and transitional housing facilities including Micro Emergency Shelter Housing (MESH). Hope Restored’s MESH house will be the first of many planned by Hope Restored. We will be assisting people, frequently homeless, as they move from dependent, often abusive relationships into independent, self-sufficient lifestyles. Through encouraging people to help form and strengthen communities, to connecting people to the right support systems, and offering assistance where needed… Hope Restored can help facilitate true transformation in neighborhoods throughout our state.
