Fayetteville Area Operation Inasmuch

Our Living Hope Program is a four-phase residential program that provides life skills and job skills training, while providing spiritual development and teaches management of dysfunctional traumas. Our goal is that each resident will become a financially independent man within two years of completing our program, and that he can maintain his independence through an established network of supportive resources, to include a strong spiritual faith.

1. Continue our daily humanitarian services to draw the homeless through our doors so that they will experience necessary relief, and consequently pursue avenues of recovery and restoration.
2. Develop partnerships with local and state agencies and nonprofits who can provide resources beyond our scope of expertise. These partnerships will be backed by memorandums of understanding.
3. Identify and hire necessary skilled staff so that we can meet the goals of all of our programming.
4. Develop our campus to provide the most impact to the homeless and struggling community.
5. Develop and implement a financial plan that will provide the necessary funding to support all of our programming.

We have been operating since 2009 and are well-educated on homelessness in our region. We have conducted five years of research and pilot programs to develop our Living Hope Program, and are mentored by two big city programs that are similar to what we are implementing. To date: we are exceeding our Program metrics. Financially, we are on sound footing; we carry no debt and all of our four-block campus is owned by us outright. We also have a strong donor base that we are looking to expand through the hiring of a new donor manager. Finally, we currently network with more than sixty agencies in Cumberland County to address homelessness overall in our region.

1. Our humanitarian program continues to thrive; we recently served our 300,000 breakfast. Although our PIT homeless count in 2023 was 435 individuals, we served more than 1400 homeless and struggling individuals in that calendar year through all of our programming. We are the acknowledged go-to place for our region's homeless.
2. Our Living Hope Program has been opened for one year, as of April 1, 2024. In that time, we have constantly reviewed our programming, tweaking those gaps and/or deficiencies that precluded success for our residents. We have hired a trauma counselor and a chaplain to address trauma management and spiritual guidance.
3. We have acquired additional properties which will ultimately expand our services to the homeless and struggling community.
4. We have increased our income 44% in the past year.
