Supportive Services:   “People helping people” is essentially what this program is all about.   It could be a family with an emergency need such as a utility scheduled for disconnection, an infant in need of pampers, or a family in need of food to hold them over till payday after all the bills have been paid.  The list can go on and on.  HOPE screens each caller and assesses the need, by cutting through the red tape to help get the need met.
