Hope House, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization offering State Certified transitional residential programs for homeless women in recovery from chemical dependency. Founded by a small group of women in 1981, Hope House has expanded in both size and scope of services throughout the past twenty-six years. Today, Hope House offers services to 20 residential clients in two transitional residences in the West Central neighborhood of Fort Wayne. One home, called Hope House 1 at 1115 Garden Street, has beds for 12 women. The other home, just a few doors down at 1129 Garden Street, is called Martha's Place and houses 8 women.
Both houses are supervised by experienced staff on a 24 hour basis using structured guidelines and individual case management to address client needs. Based on 12-Step recovery, the Hope House program offers on-site support groups and both Alcoholics Anonymous & Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Attendance at meetings, working with a sponsor, and moving through the Twelve Steps are all emphasized as part of a client's progress through our program.
