Building Hope, Restoring Families
Most homeless families are mothers with children, but entire families—including fathers—deserve a place to rebuild. Our transitional housing community welcomes and supports all who need a fresh start.
NORTH FORT MYERS, FLORIDA
GIVING HOPE TO FAMILIES
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to offer a safe haven where women and their children can find stability and support. Through our comprehensive services, including housing, childcare, counseling, job skills training, and job placement assistance, we aim to empower these families to achieve self-reliance and rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
​
Our Mission
To equip and empower the homeless in our community to become responsible, healthy, productive citizens by providing an affordable transitional community.
​
Our Vision
To be the hands and feet of Christ by offering security, love, care, and hope through the ministry of Hope Village at North Shore.
​
About Us
North Shore Alliance Church owns 9 acres, using 3 acres for our church building and parking lot. We aim to develop the remaining 6 acres into a gated transitional housing community for homeless women and their children. Currently, 165 women and children are living in cars due to insufficient housing. Affordable childcare is a major challenge to their employment. We plan to provide housing, childcare and comprehensive support services, utilizing our existing 30,000 sqft building which previously operated a childcare facility for 30 years.
OUR PLAN
Hope Village @North Shore will transform 6 undeveloped acres into a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for homeless women and their children. Our project includes:
​
Transitional Housing Units
Providing secure and affordable housing for families in need.
​
Childcare Facility
Reopening our well-established childcare services to support working mothers.
​
Comprehensive Support Services
Offering resources such as case management, job training, educational programs, job placement and counseling to help families achieve
self-sufficiency.
OUR INTEGRAL PARTNER
North Shore is partnering with Feed Thy Neighbor to bring free hot meals, five evenings a week to low income and homeless. Feed Thy Neighbor currently serves up to 500 meals per day in the southern part of the county. We are excited to be able to partner with them and cook meals in our church for the residents of Hope Village.
