The purpose of the 'Center of Hope' Shelter Blog is to function as an online blog for the residents of the Salvation Army 'Center of Hope' Homeless Shelter located at 1200 North 'B Street in Sacramento, California.
Here we will help provide news reports about shelter clients and activities, about housing options and other vital information for our people. Plus, to help provide a strong sense of community among its people.
The primary purpose of a homeless shelter is to provide Temporary Emergency Shelter for homeless people whose main focus should be on searching for and securing stable housing where they can have a safe, sane and sober home.
We know that people have five basic survival needs:
1. Food
2. Clothing
3. Shelter
4. Medical Care
5. Quality Education
Thus, we see that shelter is a basic survival need and the Salvation Army 'Center of Hope' helps to meet that need, if only on a temporary basis.
It is important for people to secure stable housing and to hold on to their housing situation. Thus, the importance of our being functional mature adults who are employable, productive and responsible in our lives.
For those of us who are renters, we need to be able to pay our monthly rent on time and not get stuck in the vicious cycle of chronic homelessness.
We will add more features and information to this blog as time goes by.
Blessings and Prayers ~
Counselor Peter S. Lopez, Housing Coordinator
