Hope Springs Safe House

What Hope Springs Safe House does

Hope Springs Safe House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 and headquartered in Attica, Indiana, that provides shelter and support services to adults and children affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in the local community and surrounding areas. Its core product is a 14-bed shelter facility offering emergency and longer-term housing, supplemented by a 24/7 crisis helpline, a Rapid Rehousing Program, Mobile Advocacy, peer Support Groups, Case Management, and Child & Youth Services. The organization operates with a Christ-centered philosophy while remaining open to survivors of all faiths, and all services are provided free of charge and confidentially.

The business model is donation-driven rather than revenue-generating: the organization is funded through individual monetary donations (tax-deductible), in-kind contributions of supplies and goods, annual community fundraising events such as the Pies for Hope fundraiser, and occasional government grants, including a $17,200 award from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services in July 2023. Distribution is conducted through direct service delivery at the shelter facility and via the Mobile Advocacy program, with client acquisition occurring primarily through the crisis hotline, community referrals, and awareness outreach. The organization is led by Executive Director Misty Barnett and governed by a Board of Leadership, employs between 1 and 10 staff, and operates without proprietary technology platforms or AI-driven service components.

Broad incumbents

• YWCA USA: National federation of local YWCA affiliates operating DV shelters, sexual violence services, and housing programs across the U.S. Highly comparable in core service mix (emergency shelter, advocacy, case management) but at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Safe Horizon: Large New York-based nonprofit providing DV shelters, hotlines, advocacy, and child & youth services — directly comparable integrated service model to Hope Springs but at metropolitan scale.
• The Salvation Army: Faith-rooted nonprofit operating emergency shelters, transitional housing, and crisis services nationwide. Comparable faith-based community engagement and shelter model, though far broader in scope.
• Catholic Charities USA: Faith-based network offering emergency housing, DV services, case management, and child & youth programs across the U.S. Comparable faith-rooted service model and integrated case management approach.

• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): National sexual assault survivor support organization operating a hotline and referral network. Highly comparable to Hope Springs' sexual assault advocacy services and crisis-line model.

Regional players
