Services
Welcome to HopeOneSource, which is a managed program by the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
Hope With Love (HWL). HopeOneSource provides an outreach platform at
http://hope1source.org (the "Site") for housing, career and social service providers (the "Service Providers") in a community to send relevant geolocated text messages to those registered (the "Clients").
Clients receive messages based on their settings established when registered that they can update at anytime on the Site. Clients then receive text messages of nearby services via 855-947-3417 or another long phone number. To ensure relevant messages are received, these are based on the Client's desired service(s), individual's demographics to improve the chances the Client is likely eligible for the service, and the Clients level of need (High: experiencing homelessness, Medium: At-risk of experiencing homelessness, or Low: Neither, as they last indicated). This all is to help ensure the appropriate people increase awareness and access to the correct services at the time they need them. Each service is mapped for Service Providers, to include local government, for increased situational awareness.
By way of example, a local Service Provider may post a message on HopeOneSource of where food can be accessed for female military Veterans who are ages 22-40 that are currently experiencing homelessness within a general area of the community. The Clients registered in HopeOneSource that meet those parameters will then receive a text message from the Service Provider with information on how to access the service. Other Service Providers can then see those services posted on a map when logged into HopeOneSource. Service providers can also message their contacts directly, using the form.
The Services offered on the platform may charge from time to time, or Service Providers may need to stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services to Clients. We also reserve the right to create limits on access and use of our Services, while also changing the categories at anytime. The text message frequency depends on the Client's desired services and the number of Service Providers that are posting to them.
Exact numbers cannot be provided since it depends on each contact's settings, and the frequency of related service provider posts.
Service Providers may also use HopeOneSource to send check-in polls, wellness checks, appointment/event reminders and more to their designated contacts using our Internal Outreach Tool. Clients may Opt-out at anytime by replying STOP.
To provide the Services, we have created rules for using the Site below (the "Terms"). These Terms govern your access to our Site and your use of the Services.
