There when families
need it most

Join the hope movement in Bloomington

New Hope for Families provides emergency shelter and excellent early learning programs to keep families together and lift every child into a promising future.

Family Shelter

Shelter and services when local families need it most

We provide an emergency shelter for up to 12 families at a time while our dedicated team of skilled and caring professionals works with those families to help them move through homelessness to stability. New Hope is the only place in Monroe County where families with children can find shelter together.

Early Learning Center

Excellent early care and education for all children

Our licensed, Indiana Paths To Quality Level Three early learning center serves up to 54 children ages birth to five years old in a beautiful child-centered facility. Our highly qualified teaching team provides individualized, relationship-based care and education grounded in evidence-based best practices. We believe that every child deserves a place to be safe, seen, and respected.
