Working to Help Others
The Story of Hope 101 Ministry
Hope for the Homeless
The primary goal of Hope 101 Ministry is to assist those in our community who are experiencing homelessness to move from poverty to prosperity through a six-month structured program of goal setting and working toward self-sufficiency.
The ministry owns Anchor Home at 101 Quarterline Road in Newaygo which is subdivided into three apartments, two of which can house a small family and one is a studio apartment. A fourth housing unit, Mercer Home, at 42 Washington Avenue in Newaygo is capable of housing a larger family with children. Hope 101, at times, also partners with landlords and churches on providing their program in housing units not owned by Hope 101.
We also realize that whether you’re in our home or yours, building a strong financial foundation is a key building block to stability and we offer a financial curriculum to help you take the first few steps.
Whether you’re just beginning in your journey to stability, or well on your way, there may be times when putting a meal on the table is a struggle. For those times we offer The Cookery to help you make it through the week.
The Need Is Great!
The husband of a young mother with three preschool aged children was sent to jail. The young woman approached Hope 101 Ministry for assistance as she and the children were being evicted from their home.
A woman who had completed rehab needed a safe place to live where she would find new friends and support away from her former environment and abuse.
A young mother, recently divorced, sought help from her pastor because she could no longer afford to live in her home. Her pastor called Hope 101 Ministry after hearing about the program offering transitional housing to those in need.
