Hope House, Bemidji

Support. Hope. Empowerment for people with mental illness.

Something is very special about Hope House. Ninety-six percent of participants are now living in stable housing, ninety-three percent are hospital-free, and eighty-four percent have no problem with drugs or alcohol. There have been no suicides for many years.  Members of Hope House are tax-paying citizens -more than 70% live in their own home or apartment, and nearly 40% are employed part-time. Through learning mental health skills, and supported to be active participants within their communities, members of Hope House build the social and mental health foundation to avoid repeated and expensive hospitalizations.   In addition, Hope House provides hope to families of people with mental illness via outreach, phone contact, education, and a REACH (Reassurance for Each) family support group.

Hope House does this work for less than $10/day/member (client).  If you wish to make a wise investment, feel good about the impact of your donations, and make a difference in the community, please join us.
