HOPE Coalition Funding Motel Vouchers

In its most recent Fall funding cycle, Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless has granted HOPE Coalition with $7000 funding toward motel vouchers for unhoused families and individuals in Goodhue and Wabasha Counties. 

Through this funding HOPE Coalition can provide around 105 nights in a safe shelter while assisting people work toward their housing goals.

In 2023, it expanded its Community Care Fund program to include a mobile outreach unit (in which it partners with six food shelves throughout Wabasha County) that helps residents in its communities reduce transportation barriers.

In addition to the above services it also provide advocacy to survivors of sexual assault in both Wabasha and Goodhue Counties.

Since 1986, the Open Your Heart Foundation has ensured that emergency shelters, food shelves and domestic violence shelters throughout Minnesota have the tools, equipment, and infrastructure necessary to best serve those in need.
