Abilene Hope Haven

Abilene Hope Haven is a nonprofit organization that was created to address the needs of homeless individuals. It provides homeless adults and families with food, clothing, shelter, transportation and the tools necessary to become self-sufficient.


Abilene Hope Haven operates two residential facilities:

Bridge 2 Home:
This program is designed to provide emergency shelter to individuals and/or families that are experiencing homelessness. The main focus is to work with neighbors to secure a safe, affordable and stable housing to individuals and families as quick as possible. Individuals and/or families that have school-age children may be prioritized. Before moving in, neighbors will participate in an assessment to determine eligibility and services needed. At move-in, neighbors sign a participant agreement that outlines Bridge 2 Home policies and procedures. Each household is provided with a private room, basic cable, internet access, and groceries. Additionally, participants may utilize the following community spaces: kitchen, dining/living space, laundry facilities, and back/patio area.
Hope Housing Services (HHS)Is a rapid re-housing program for individuals and/or families experiencing homelessness. It combines housing identification, financial assistance, and case management services so that HHS staff support neighbors in securing safe, affordable, stable housing as quickly as possible. Prior to program entry, neighbors participate in an assessment to determine services needed and placement on the Housing Priority List. Because the focus is stability, neighbors sign a standard 12 month lease in their own name prior to moving into their home.
