Hands of Hope<\/a> is a full-time street outreach to the unsheltered homeless in Tarrant and surrounding counties. We focus on those living in locations unsuitable for human habitation, whether that be in a vacant structure, a vehicle, or a tent in a remote wooded area. We search for those who are often forgotten and hidden away. Once we locate an individual, we work to develop a relationship of trust and to provide their basic necessities. We can complete a coordinated housing assessment for entry into the system for housing assistance, taking that first step with them on site toward leaving the street. We also work to identify the root cause of their homelessness. Once this root cause is identified, we can then connect them with the correct agency, organization, or program that is best suited to help them while sharing God’s love and never from a place of judgment. Hands of Hope feels that no matter the cause of their homelessness, there is always hope and that there are no hopeless situations.
