Who We Are

Hope House services form a safety net of prevention, education and support for more than 10,000 victims of abuse every year. Residential and outreach services are provided through two secure locations in Independence and Lee’s Summit, Missouri (the Kansas City metro area).

Each location features a 52 bed shelter, early childhood center, therapy space, administration offices and community training facilities.

Over the past 26 years, Hope House programs and services have expanded to include:

  • outreach therapy
  • court advocacy
  • a safe visitation center
  • hospital-based advocacy
  • on-call women's advocates who work with area police departments
  • professional trainings on domestic violence for medical students, newly recruited police officers, corporations, hospital personnel and social workers

The Statistics

Hope House's hotline and programs help more than 10,000 victims of domestic violence each year. In June 2010 alone we logged the following numbers:

Number of women in shelter: 58

Number of children in shelter: 34

Number of hotline calls: 408 for total of 71 hours 

Even with 100% funding and staffing, the need would still be greater than the resources available. For those we are able to help every day, we depend on the Kansas City community giving back to their neighbors in need through monetary donations and volunteer hours.
