Hope for the Homeless

The Hope Rescue Mission in South Bend 

Safe Station, Lincoln Way, South Bend. Open near 24 hours to provide a safe place for youth. 

Bridge near public Transpo station, a site where refuge can be taken from inclement weather. 
Extreme poverty and destruction is a leading cause that drives people to homelessness. 

2006- Counted 560 people living in shelters and 93 homeless people who weren't living in a shelter. 
Shelter's do not have the capacity to house and assist all of those in need. Many turn to alternative means of shelter, such as 24 hour emergency rooms, public transportation sites and covered locations out of doors.
