In order to minister to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the disadvantaged people of Tucson, it is our desire to establish a 32,000 + Sq. Ft.. inner-city facility, The Hope Center, capable of housing some of the 2700 Tucson homeless--men, women, families, single parents & children, substance abuse recoverers, & ex-gang members—with such housing on a temporary basis, with the exception of some transitional units for in–tact families.
The Hope Center will provide food, clothing, training, social services and counseling. On-site services would be extensive, with sufficient space for food storage & preparation, parking of busses & other necessary vehicles, chapel meetings, Bible studies, classes (English as a second language, 12 Step Programs, GED, job interviewing, resume writing, vocational training, etc.), daycare and possibly the development of a cottage industry.
GOAL: That this facility become a safe-place for the disadvantaged, a tool for giving the hopeless hope, a gathering place for people to receive help and experience the love of God—a Beacon in a dark world! It would also serve as an opportunity for the Body of Christ to carry out the Great Commission . Mk 16:15-18
