Project Title: Life Transformation Program: Streets to Stability
Project Description:

Neighborhood Hope Dealers, Inc. dba Hope House Guthrie respectfully requests $10,000 in general operating support for our Life Transformation Program: Streets to Stability.

Since 2020, we have provided safe, trauma-informed housing and comprehensive recovery support to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, and crisis. What began with $80 and a commitment to feed the hungry has grown into a structured 12–18 month residential continuum of care serving more than 900 individuals across multiple Oklahoma counties.

Participants receive stable housing, three daily meals, peer recovery support, mental wellness education, workforce readiness assistance, and life-skills development within a structured and accountable environment. Our lived-experience leadership model strengthens trust and engagement, as many staff members are program graduates who now serve as certified Peer Recovery Support Specialists and Behavioral Health Wellness Coaches.

We address not only housing instability, but also the underlying causes of homelessness, including trauma, untreated mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and lack of economic opportunity. Through strong partnerships and careful fiscal stewardship, 95 percent of our budget is directed toward program services.

General operating support from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will help sustain daily housing, food, and supportive services that allow individuals and families to stabilize, rebuild, and transition toward long-term self-sufficiency.

Total Project Budget: $321,000 (Annual Operating Budget)

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Private individual donors, private foundations, faith community support, corporate partnerships, and ongoing grant requests currently pending.

Project Duration: 12 months
Geographical Area Served: Oklahoma
