Cape Hope Center Summary
Several organizations, including Cape Hope Cares, help homeless people find a place to sleep for one night or two. Others help the most capable families establish homes of their own. The Cape Hope Center project will help families and individuals make a transition to healthy and independent living.
Housing security provides a base that allows them to develop the skills and systems that make the family a sustainable unit. We hope that the residents will stay with us between three and eighteen months. We intend to build four related projects on one piece of property.
1. 25 Units of family housing
2. Day care and education resource center
3. 20 units of single-adult housing
4. 3 acres of active farm as a food / activity / employment resource
The four projects are separated for fundraising purposes, but form an integrated support system for Cape May County’s homeless population. Having all the projects close to each other allows mutual support.
Cape Hope is a local outreach group that provides common necessities to the less fortunate & the marginalized, while bringing Future Hope and stability through training, support & care. For info see https://capehopecares.org/
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. Thomas Merton
