Housing Hero Award
Gale and John Lothrop
On August 18th, 2002, at the AZ Dept. of Housing Forum in Scottsdale, Hope House of Sedona received one of six Housing Hero Awards. The category in which they won was the best use of government funds. In 2019, they were awarded a Community Development Block Grant by the City of Sedona. That money was used to build Hope House, transitional housing for homeless families with children. Hope House is now open and serving families. Thank you to all our supporters who helped make this happen.

What is Hope House?
A project that began within The Church of the Red Rocks, this effort to help the homeless families with children in Sedona has quickly gained the support of the wider community. At any particular time there are 20-30+ homeless children in the Sedona-Oak Creek Unified School District. Please take a look at our site and see what we’ve done so far, what’s still on our list of “to do’s” and consider the ways you might help.

Our Mission
Stories from Sedona’s Homeless Children
“My Mom finally escaped an abusive relationship and took us to a safe place. We stayed at the Verde Valley Sanctuary for as long as they could let us. They set us up in some temporary house which was a great help, but after their financial help ended we couldn’t find a place to rent that we could afford, so now my two siblings and I live with our Mom in our car. Mom gets us to school every day at West Sedona Elementary even though that’s hard sometimes.”
