I had a negative experience with Center of hope. I needed rental assistance, after submitting everything they asked for, they denied me, claiming that they don't know what I would do for the next months rent???? Is that not what they are supposed to help with rent and utilities?

Great day and saving Grace ... well actually her name is JANE and I have to say she went above and beyond for myself and my little mama ... so thanks so much for being here for my family as well as for all of the other families who have received assistance from Center of Hope and also to the many more to come... I am grateful and appreciative of your services in this community. Thanks so much Jane ... my prayers were answered today .....

I was just told to go up there at 6am to 6:30am to get help but just saw someone say to be there at 5 am?

Rebecca Clark | Oct 26, 2019
Michelle Smith-Arnold | Oct 26, 2019

I went there at 7am & had to wait in a decent sized line. All they do Monday morning is schedule appointments for later that day & throughout the week depending on if you have a shut off notice or are already shut off or when your rent was due & if you have a 3 day notice. They're fairly quick. They'll open the doors at 8am

How can you talk to anybody at this place on Monday when it tells you to call on Monday? I have been calling since 9 o clock all I get is a busy signal.

Lloyd Williams | Oct 26, 2019
Christal Porter | Oct 26, 2019

Lloyd you just have to keep calling until it rings. If you are in an emergency situation try to go there in person on Tuesday mornings, you have to get there early.

Do they help with deposit

Genesis Thompson | Oct 26, 2019
duane glenn | Oct 26, 2019

Yes they help with the deposit but if you have anything else that you need help with you need to bring that into like a bill or possibly partial rent so then everything is taken care of in one go.. other than that you can only get there help once a year

Yay can go in on Tuesday early morning to get in line and they will set you up with an appointment. Take your shut off notice and eviction notice or whatever you need help with. Id and you want to be up there by 5:30 or 6

Dakota Cox | Oct 25, 2020
vincent myers | Oct 25, 2020

That is exactly right go on there earlier than 5 a.m. because there's people out there lined up already 5 a.m. and they will help you as long as you have your eviction notice and you're one of the lucky ones to get in good luck and God bless!

What all do they help with

Diamond Mccree | Oct 25, 2020
Shannon Collins | Oct 25, 2020

To help with rent, you MUST have eviction notice. Call on Monday mornings. Line will be busy for HOURS, don't give up. If you plan on standing in line to get help, be there around 5:30AM! I AM NOT KIDDING ABOUT THIS! If you truly need help, you will do what it takes!

Can they help you out with clothes

Jessica Garcia | Oct 25, 2020
Matthew Rico | Oct 25, 2020

Yes or provide vouchers to similar places who offer exactly that, one example would be the 'open door' which is located in town. NOT the 'open door' on 21st Street-this location however provides access to their very good food bank once a month. The center of hope can also provide vouchers for places who can assist with furniture and cookware for example. Also try the Salvation Army- located very close to the open door in town which definitely provide clothing.

Matt Patton | Oct 26, 2019
Pamila Bitler | Oct 26, 2019

What does gas co. Say about your going for assistance ? Will they hold off? If not make a verbal pay agreement I have found the gas co. To be fair. Speak to customer service and set up a payment plan that could give you a few more days, then follow up on your plans to apply for assistance. Ok?? DO CALL. ITS WORSE TO DO NOTHING

Proof of income rental agreement or if you're purchasing why you have to have help with this money what kind of expedited things happened this last 2 months no had to fix the car or something like that that you spent the money instead of doing the electric bill and to write that little bit of a letter up then you need to go in on Tuesday at 5:30 to 6:30 to get in line for an appointment or call all day basically on Monday between 8 and noon and in the afternoons 1 to 4 p.m. Get that appointment and make sure you keep it I hope that helps you good luck and God bless

I continue to call and call. I get nothing but a busy signal always. Need help with my water/gas bill but ive been trying for 4 weeks straight every monday to get through. Nothing has happened... do they have alternate numbers or emails?

Kristopher Hoffman | Oct 26, 2018
scott bowker | Oct 26, 2018

I used two different phones my government phone and my regular phone to call in i just kept hitting redial it took me 1300 phone calls but right there at about 11 I finally got through they say it's different for every week all I can suggest is either keep calling 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm or The other option is to go over to them on Tuesday 5:30 in the morning to 6:30 in the morning where they give out appointment times to come back to it's on a first-come first-serve basis so if you would like to try and shoot for 5 in the morning go for it but they say it takes about 5 in the morning is when they start lining up in about 5:30 to start taking numbers and depending on the time frames and stuff it's either that day or Wednesday or even Thursday I've heard somebody get a Friday appointment also but I'm not sure the details on that you need to bring in your shut-off notice, proof of address, ID, proof of income like SSI or whatever, good luck Scott Bowker

Earl Allen | Oct 26, 2018
