Become a Hope Heals Advocate
What is a Hope Heals Advocate for the homeless/unsheltered population?
Advocates are trained and committed adults who will ensure the homeless/unsheltered population remains a priority in an overburdened system. As an advocate, you will be given the opportunity to know each individual you are paired with on a personal basis. Your personal support will assist the client in navigating the resources and systems in the community and learn to embrace the concept of a “warm handoff” when it best suits the individuals needs.
