Our need in Van Wert County is greater than the surrounding 5 counties combined, according to the Northwest Ohio Community Action Commission. On average, there are 30-40 Van Wert County community members experiencing homelessness on any given day. Some are employed; some are as young as 18. Homelessness in rural communities looks much different than it does in larger cities. It could mean living in a car, “couch surfing”, or extended stays in hotels. Haven of Hope is here to make a difference in Van Wert County and help those in need get back on their feet.
