Hope Housing for Students

Empowering Community College Students in Need

Maryvale and The Shower of Hope have joined forces to create the Hope Housing for Students Program, a partnership dedicated to providing temporary and safe housing for female community college students who are unhoused or housing insecure. We understand the challenges that these students face and aim to support them in pursuing their educational dreams.

Our program offers a range of services to ensure that students have the resources they need to thrive. Students in the program have access to meals, with groceries provided, and opportunities to learn cooking skills while participating in community cooking. We also provide clothing for both casual wear/school and work, as well as basic hygiene items to promote personal well-being.

Mental health services are an integral part of our program, with one-on-one therapy services available to all students. Academic support is offered through tutoring, helping students excel in their studies. We also provide workshops on resume building, self-defense, yoga, public speaking, and other character-building classes to empower students in various aspects of their lives.

Community building and entertainment activities are an important part of the program, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie. From movie nights and karaoke to sports activities, we create opportunities for students to engage, unwind, and enjoy their time together.

The Hope Housing for Students Program is located at Maryvale's Rosemead campus, and we welcome eligible female community college students facing housing insecurity or homelessness to apply. Admissions are on a first-come, first-served basis, contingent on availability, and we encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity.

Join us in the Hope Housing for Students Program as we provide a supportive and empowering environment where community college students can continue to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential. Apply online, email hopehousing@theshowerofhope.org, or call 626-999-1856 to get started.
