Organizations Filed Purposes: Open Hands Foundation exists to meet unmet, critical needs of vulnerable people in our community.

Hope House is a youth crisis and counseling shelter provided by the Organization through a partnership with 180 Degrees (program service provider) and Westwood Community Church. The shelter provides safe, stable and supportive emergency housing and counseling. Specifically it provides: 6 beds for youth in crisis ages 14-19; 24hr/ 7days a week crisis shelter; counseling for youth, parents and family; dedicated professional staff; no cost for services; and a first call for law enforcement, schools, community organizations, healthcare providers, and families in crisis. Youth/ Family Impact: Since opening in 2015, 2,281 impacted youth: with 475 youth making overnight stays in the shelter, and over 1,805 inquiries have been handled through calls or texts for help. Housing stability (our goal is to have kids back in a safe/stable environment): In 2020, 91% of the youth achieved this goal at exit after an average of 30 days in the shelter. In 2020, 595 youth were impacted, with 119 making overnight stays. 2020 was also greatly impacted by the Covid pandemic. Our program service provider experienced higher operating costs due to additional safety protocols, increased staffing expenses, along with longer than normal shelter stays by impacted youth. The organization was not able to hold fundraising events which impacted annual revenues. However, the CARES Act allowed for increased public support from county contracts awarded to our service provider, which significantly decreased the amount of costs the organization incurred to operate the shelter, and subsequently increased year end net assets for the organization.
