Overview

Mission

Hope House of Sedona provides families experiencing homelessness access to safe haven, support, and tools for lasting stability.

What it reported doing in 2025

During 2025, Hope House of Sedona provided our comprehensive housing program and community based service to people and families with children experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the Verde Valley. The organization served six families (13 individuals) through its on-site housing program and assisted an additional 85 households (167 individuals) through coordinated entry navigation, referrals, aftercare, and housing support services. A significant accomplishment in 2025 was achieving a 100% successful housing exit rate, with all families leaving the program transitioning to permanent housing. Additionally, 100% of those families remained stably-housed at six month follow up. All school-aged children residing in the program remained enrolled and engaged in school throughout their stay, helping preserve educational continuity during times of family crisis. Adult participants made measurable progress toward self-sufficiency through employment, increased savings, improved budgeting skills, and progress on goals related to parenting, health, and long-term housing stability. Families received individualized care coordination, life skills coaching, transportation assistance, and connections to healthcare and community resources. During 2025, Hope House also strengthened its long-term sustainability through expanded partnerships, and community engagement. The organization was supported by more than 30 consistent volunteers, with over 60 individuals in its broader volunteer rotation available for specialized projects, events, and emerging needs.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
