MISSION STATEMENT:
Our goal at the Circle of Hope Family Shelter is to advocate for homeless women and families and assist them by providing temporary shelter, case management, collaboration with the City of Corona and other service providers. Our wish is to develop partnership with clients and encourage each person toward achieving self-sufficiency.
HISTORY:
The Circle of Hope opened in October of 1995 aimed at providing shelter to a predominately male population of homeless.
Our non-profit organization took over the management of the shelter in May of 2003 at the request of the City of Corona.
As the need for shelter for single women and families grew, we shifted our focus in that direction. |

We are now able to house up to fifty (50) people in our emergency program. In the transitional program there is a family dorm that has 20 beds, a dorm for single women that houses 17, and four family bedrooms that hold four people per room for a total of 53. The combined programs offer a capacity of 103 beds.
The Circle of Hope Family Shelter is a safe haven for single women, single parents, moms and dads. No single males are accommodated in this program. Eligibiity rules are carefully followed to insure that the Circle of Hope Family Shelter remains a safe and stable environment.
The Circle of Hope Family Shelter has made a decided impact in our community. Comparing the police call statistics from 2007 to 2002 reveals significant reductions for both on-site calls and from the area surrounding area. On-site calls fell 32% and calls from area business declined 41%, yielding an overall reduction of 37%. |
