Housing Programs
Pathways of Hope operates Via Esperanza, an immediate response shelter for homeless families. Additionally, Pathways operates three Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) programs, one for chronically homeless families, one for individuals, and one for seniors.
Pathways of Hope implements sustainable solutions across the housing continuum. We currently offer:
* Emergency Shelter at Via Esperanza for homeless families in Anaheim
* Two Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) programs with wraparound services for chronically homeless families and individuals
2025 Shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing Programs Outcomes:
* 41 people from 8 unique households ended their homelessness. (Emergency Shelters)
* 63 people from 35 unique households ended their homelessness (PSH)
* 67% of adults increased their income.
* 68 % - Success Rate - Transitions from emergency shelter to successful housing
During 2024, our properties on Amerige Avenue in Fullerton, also known as Hope's Corner, transitioned from predominantly shelter operations to permanent affordable housing. By increasing the availability of permanent affordable housing in North Orange County, Pathways of Hope is contributing to the best solution to end homelessness. Thanks largely to a $1.5 million grant from CalOptima, our Amerige Avenue properties have been completely renovated. This transformational financial support gave us the resources to remodel 14 units (two four-bedroom houses, two three-bedroom houses, seven two-bedroom units, two studio units and one ADU unit). Hope's Corner now offers a permanent home to families and individuals as well as housing for transitional-age youth, a service offered by our partners at Orangewood Foundation and Young Lives Redeemed.
Community Programs
Pathways of Hope’s Community Programs includes homelessness prevention services, which provide financial assistance to stabilize low-income households facing eviction or other imminent threats of homelessness. Pathways also partners with CalOptima through its CalAIM initiative, supporting high-need Medi-Cal members secure housing as a foundation for improved health and long-term stability. Pathways of Hope’s food pantry at the HUB of Hope provides nutritious groceries to thousands of low-income households each year through a client-choice model that lets guests choose the groceries that best meet their dietary and cultural needs. Additionally, Pathways supports local students through strong college partnerships with the North Orange County Community College District, providing students reliable access to healthy groceries at Cypress College and North Orange Continuing Education (NOCE).
Pathways provided the following outcomes through our Community Based Services in 2025:
