Our program’s mission is to offer outreach and drop-in facilities which provide chronically homeless, mentally ill and substance abusing men and women critical services, to facilitate an improved quality of life and opportunity for entry into the homeless provider network of Suffolk County. Hospitality, compassion, competent care, and genuine acceptance will be the hallmarks of Project Hope II’s philosophy. Outreach and the supportive services to be offered at the Project Hope II drop-in center will be effective in assisting people who are homeless and living with a mental illness to achieve stability, and by doing so, increase the likelihood of achieving independent housing.
