The Family Support Program focuses on meeting basic needs within the family, emergencies services and also have a component for at-risk youth to succeed. This program seeks to provide a safety net for at-risk families by addressing poverty, illiteracy, low self-esteem, violence, abandonment, and economic challenges. The support center specifically addresses the basic physical needs of clients, by providing them with food, emergency rental help, clothing, hygiene products and baby essentials such as diapers. In addition to the basic essentials, the women and children from these families will be invited to participate in the other programs of H.O.P.E. This holistic approach addresses aspects of both the physical and emotional needs of these families.
H.O.P.E. goes beyond meeting the immediate physical needs of its clients, and helps uncover and address underlying issues to achieve lasting stability. By encouraging clients to look beyond today, set goals, and gain critical knowledge. This comprehensive program provides “a Hope and a future.”

With a goal of helping families build a better future for themselves, H.O.P.E. has been working nonstop throughout the years to create this comprehensive family support center. In the early years much of the activity took place in the Buena Clinton Neighborhood in the City of Garden Grove. From these humble beginnings H.O.P.E. has grown to serve an incredible number of active families. Through the years, H.O.P.E. has actually attended to the needs of over 5,000 at-risk families. Through collaboration and networking of its programs, and services, the center continues to expand services and programs. The H.O.P.E. Family Support Center seeks to break the generational cycle of illiteracy, poverty, teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency and gang and drug involvement found in many of these families and offers permanent solutions for a better tomorrow.
