Project Hope For The Homeless

Shelter Needs

On my drive to work several days ago, a news story was talking about impending evictions due to the pandemic.  One woman interviewed said that she had just received a statement for four month’s rent totaling over $5000.00 and had no means to pay it.  The reporter said that this crisis is hitting renters particularly hard; many people have no idea where they will go if forced out. 

Several days later I came across a list of needs for Project Hope for the Homeless in Painesville.  Project Hope operates an adult shelter, a daily shelter for families, and a three-unit transitional housing program for seniors 62 and over.  I first became acquainted with this ministry through parishioner Mary Ellen Fellenstein who enlisted donations from our SRW Seniors’ Group several years ago.  The need was great then so I can’t begin to imagine what they are facing today.
