Catholic Charities, Pinellas Hope 

Pinellas Hope is an outdoor emergency shelter that provides homeless people privacy, a safe place to stay, and a secure place to leave their belongings during the day or while they are at work. The residents may sleep undisturbed, take a shower, and have a comforting evening meal. There is a strict code of conduct in Pinellas Hope. The clients will be required to agree to rules associated with the shelter facility. Security/background checks will be done on every prospective resident to assure, to the best of our ability, that the clients of Pinellas Hope will be safe and secure. Individuals will not be allowed in Pinellas Hope if the presence of that individual could threaten the safety of other clients and personnel. Volunteer Opportunities are available to assist in the operations of the Shelter and to Provide & Serve a Comforting Evening Meal.
