Hope the Mission

Hope of the Valley (HOTV) exists to prevent, reduce and eliminate poverty, hunger and homelessness by offering immediate assistance and long-term solutions to men, women and children throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Founded in 2009, HOTV has evolved from a small volunteer-driven operation, cooking and serving hot meals to homeless men, women, and children in the San Fernando Valley, to one of the leading homeless service agencies in LA. HOTV’s services have grown in response to the needs of the community.  (Including four transitional living facilities, two bridge housing shelters, six tiny home villages,  a recovery program, a 140-bed emergency shelter, one safe parking shelter, two access centers, and five thrift stores.) In 2020/21 HOTV increased the number of shelter beds by over 1000 beds!  HOTV provides 500,000 nights of safe shelter, serves over 1.5 million hot meals and over 500,000 hot showers to those most in need annually. Together we can make homeless history.
