Hacienda of Hope

About our Peer Respite House

Hacienda of Hope is a safe alternative to emergency hospitalization for individuals living with mental health challenges who are experiencing a stressful life event or crisis. This short-term peer respite home offers the space where peer-guests are able to stay short periods of time (usually a few days) to work on their personal growth and wellness in a safe space free of charge.

Hacienda of Hope is a harm reduction based, welcoming, non-clinical environment, staffed by others who are able to relate, empathize and offer hope and support through crisis. The two-story home can accommodate up to ten guests at a time. Guests can participate in cooking and household activities of on site peer support groups, self-help and wellness activities.

The orientation process is simple and each guest works with a peer supporter who helps them set goals for their stay. Guests have the opportunity to create individualized wellness and recovery plans and connect with local resources for employment, housing, financial assistance, and mental/physical health care.

“ Normally, when people ask how I’m doing, I simply say, ‘I’m okay,’ because that’s usually the truth. But here, when people ask, I can genuinely respond that I’m actually doing well. ”
