Our Mission
Pottstown Beacon of Hope’s mission is based on hope, love, and grace and a willingness to come alongside Pottstown residents experiencing homelessness, by providing year-round emergency shelter and working together towards creating a better community for all.
Our Vision
Pottstown Beacon of Hope builds trusting relationships with our guests while coordinating and facilitating the necessary resources to aid them in achieving personal growth, independent living, and permanent housing. We provide an atmosphere where hope, love and grace are our guiding principles.
Guiding Principles
Homelessness is a community issue
Homeless people are residents of the community
Sheltering is stabilizing
Sheltering is about community
Services need to go to the people
It’s really about housing
There are many resources on a local level to address local need
Our Goals
On average, it can take up to 6-24 months to secure housing after experiencing a housing crisis. Our goal with each and every one of our guests is to identify areas of need, coordinate with service providers to have those needs met, and equip our guests with the necessary skills for them to stabilize in the community and have lasting, indoor housing.
