“I was sick, and I was scared, and I was hopeless
until I met the people from Project HOPE. They got me help, they stood
by me, and the really did give me…HOPE.”
Client of Project HOPE
Since its creation in 1989, Family Services’
Project HOPE has focused on four basic principles. Those principles
lead Project Hope staff to work with clients so that the clients (1)
find affordable housing, (2) are assured adequate nutrition, (3) become
linked to appropriate medical care, and (4) achieve a basic income.
These goals guide the HOPE staff as the only “full-service”
HIV/AIDS program in Montgomery County.
Project HOPE staff also does extensive prevention education
work in schools, high-risk community locations, shelters, and other
public sites. Outreach offices are located in Eagleville, North Penn,
and Pottstown and our outreach workers go to a variety of other communities.
Some of the most frequently used services are: case management (an overall
plan for care and necessities), counseling and testing for HIV, dental
care (dental visits for uninsured or underinsured individuals) transportation,
counseling services, and food vouchers.
