What we do
A hopeful hand up, not just a bed
Safe shelter. Practical support. A path toward stable housing. Peak of Hope is a residential shelter program — participation is required, and staff work alongside residents to address the barriers keeping them out of housing.
Programs
Our shelter programs
Peak of Hope is a residential shelter program. Participation in the program is required, and staff work alongside each resident to address the barriers keeping them out of housing.
Calling and texting are available 24/7. Shelter entry is not — Peak of Hope is a residential shelter program, not a 24/7 walk-in shelter. Current intake hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., and they may change once our Shelter Coordinator is hired. A photo ID or legal paperwork confirming your identity is required to enter the program. An expired ID is fine — it does not have to be current.
Who we serve

- Priority to people living in places not meant for human habitation

Homelessness in Logan County
What homelessness looks like here
Rural homelessness is often invisible. Local reporting describes two situations we see most.
Literal homelessness
Living outside, in a vehicle or tent, or somewhere else not intended for people to live.
Precarious housing
Couch-surfing or staying in unstable, temporary arrangements that can quickly turn into literal homelessness.
If either description fits you or someone you know, call or text (937) 935-4292. You do not have to be sleeping outside tonight to ask for help.
Our approach
How a stay works
Shelter without a plan just delays the crisis. Every resident at Peak of Hope works with staff on the practical steps that lead to housing.
Safety and stability first
A warm bed, meals, showers, and a locked door. Residents get to breathe before anyone talks about paperwork.
Documents and income
Staff help residents recover documents, apply for benefits and jobs, and rebuild the records landlords ask for.
Local referrals
We connect residents to Logan County partners for healthcare, recovery support, childcare, and housing placement.
