About

Bybee Lakes Hope Center, run by Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers, offers an emergency stay of up to 30 days, then a longer reentry program with case management, health partners and job training. You cannot refer yourself: call the front desk in the morning and staff connect you to a referral partner, who screens you by phone. If you are approved and there is space, you can arrive the same day. The shelter is often close to full, and the site is far from transit, so plan your ride.

Eligibility

Adults and families with children. You must commit to sobriety and cannot be under the influence on site. No registered sex offenders. Service, therapy and emotional support animals only.
