Hope Resource is a 12-bed purpose built "supported accommodation" (hostel) for residential placement of individuals with mental health conditions, who had been discharged from psychiatric hospital admission, but do not have a "suitable" place to live.
We help residents acquire the life skills they need to build the foundations for independent living; in addition to the desired and deserved respite for family members.
