Transitional Living Program in Kansas City
A Partner on the Journey
We’re a transitional living program focused on helping unhoused people in the Northland of Kansas City see their own potential and do the work it takes to achieve a secure, independent life. Our staff and volunteers are champions of their inherent dignity and worth, equipping them to overcome their circumstances and build the future they want.
The path to a better life isn’t always easy. But we believe no one should have to walk it alone. Everyone deserves hope. And that’s why we do what we do.
Be the hands and feet of hope.
Come alongside people experiencing homelessness who are ready to do the hard work of investing in themselves. You’ll work with our staff to help them create a future of security and independence by strengthening, equipping, and loving them in practical ways. From budget coaching, repairs and clean-up, working in the thrift store, and more, many roles are available, and no prior experience is needed.
Invest in hope-filled futures
Our vision is a community where all people can stand on their own with dignity, resilience, and confident independence. If that’s the kind of future you want to see for neighbors experiencing homelessness in Kansas City, join our mission today.
Find the hope you need today
If you’re experiencing homelessness and need help, we’re here. We offer programs and support to help you grow in resilience and rebuild the places in your life that feel broken. We’ll meet you where you are, come alongside you with community and care, and equip you in practical ways for a better future. If you’re ready to start your journey, don’t wait—find hope today.
Be a part of the mission
When you donate to Hillcrest Hope, you say to a neighbor experiencing homelessness: “I see you. And you’re not alone.” Join our mission today by supporting hope for those who need and deserve it.
Real impact on real people
Our work impacts real human beings in our community - people with unique stories, inherent value, and limitless potential. In the past year, 46 families have graduated from our program and are moving toward lives full of hope, confidence, and dignity. And we couldn't do it without your support.
We're grateful for our corporate partners
