The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners and Pasco County Administrator teamed with Catholic Charities to be able to provide two locations of temporary housing for as many as 208 residents of Pasco County who had been displaced from their homes due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Both Sites, Pasco Hope (for Seniors or Individuals) and Pasco Hope Family were and continue to be operated by Catholic Charities in partnership with Pasco County.
Pasco Hope (Holiday)
The first site is located on Grand Blvd. in Holiday and opened on November 1st, 2024. There are fifty single-person units knowns as Hope CottagesTM and up to 25 two-person trailers. Shower, toilet and laundry facilities as well as a kitchen trailer are also available on-site. To determine availability or be placed on a waiting list, please go online to www.ccdosp.org/pasco-hope or email Catholic Charities at [email protected].
As the individuals impacted by the storms departed for their repaired, or brand new, homes, Pasco Hope transitioned to homeless shelter. As with any shelter in Pasco County, space is made available on a first come, first served basis.
HOW – homeless men and women must first contact the Coalition for the homeless of Pasco County by calling (727) 842-8605.
WHAT – once individuals are vetted by the Coalition and are admitted to Pasco Hope, Catholic Charities takes over and will provide, in addition to shelter, meals, basic clothing needs, and most importantly case management to assist residents in navigating the process of rebuilding their lives and returning to independent, stable living in housing they can afford to maintain.
Pasco Hope Family (Port Richey)
The second site that was opened was located in Port Richey and opened on December 13, 2024. It was set up to accommodate up to 108 family members in fourteen trailers (6 individuals each) with the same additional amenities.
As at the Holiday location, as the families impacted by the storms returned to their homes (rebuilt or new ones), Pasco Hope Family joined with the Pasco Family Shelter (located next door) to welcome homeless men and women living in Pasco County.
HOW – space will be made available on a first come, first served basis. However, to determine availability and be placed on a waiting list or immediately admitted to the shelter, interested individuals must first please contact the Coalition for the homeless of Pasco County by calling (727) 842-8605.
WHAT – once admitted to the shelter, Catholic Charities, will also provide meal assistance, basic clothing and/or toiletry needs and also provide case management assistance to residents to help them navigate the process of rebuilding their homes and lives.
