General Information:
The Hope For Families Center provides Emergency and Transitional Shelter for Homeless Families from Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, and Okeechobee Counties. Our 4th Street facility can accommodate 10 families in the Emergency Shelter and eleven families in the Transitional Shelter which translates into a total of 88 individuals that we may house on any given day. In addition, three stand-alone homes are occupied by families who have transitioned from the Center to greater self-sufficiency.
To access residential services at the Hope for Families Center, you need to complete an initial preliminary intake which will address the criteria below and review the Admission Contract. The criteria to move toward admission: Be homeless Meet HUD guidelines for the family: A family is a household composed of two or more related persons, at least one being a child accompanied by an adult or juvenile parent.* Be drug/alcohol free Be willing and mentally and physically able to work, perform community service (volunteer) hours, or go to school.

These cases will be presented to the Program Director for evaluation before admission. * HFC will admit expectant mothers and/or couples with no dependent children based on available space. Preference will be given to individuals from Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee or St. Lucie Counties who have not utilized our services in the past year and are literally homeless and without shelter of any type. Space permitting, if a resident is found to be eligible through the preliminary intake, an interview will be conducted. At this time, information gathered through this interview process will determine whether our programs fit the needs of your family.
