Home Suite Hope supports low-income and underhoused single-parent families to stabilize and access long-term housing. The agency launched Homeward Bound Halton in 2015, adapting WoodGreen’s innovative model to serve a new region. This program provides wrap-around services supporting homeless or inadequately housed single mothers to earn college diplomas, start careers and achieve financial self-sufficiency.
