JOB OVERVIEW

Hope’s Door seeks to end domestic violence and to empower survivors to achieve safety, independence, and healing from the trauma of abuse. We have served victims of domestic violence since 1980, touching the lives of more than 11,000 persons last year. Our services include shelter, hotline, counseling, support groups, advocacy, information and referral, and an extensive school and community-based education and awareness program. At Hope’s Door, services are survivor-centered, empowerment-based, and affirm the inherent dignity and worth of each individual.
Our focus at CHHOP (Caring for the Hungry and Homeless of Peekskill) is housing and food equity. We operate a shelter for unhoused adults of all genders, including veterans, a collaborative housing and services support program for domestic violence survivors and their families, a permanent supportive hosing program for chronically homeless individuals living with a disability, a large “farm to pantry” food pantry, and a rental arrears and communities services support program for low-wage workers and immigrants.
RISE Program: The Rehousing in Supportive Environments Program (RISE) is a collaborative program providing case management, housing, domestic violence, supportive services, and employment services to homeless domestic violence survivors and their families. This collaborative model was intentionally designed to provide “wrap-around” services in one program.
