HOPE Coalition services as of 3/19/2020

HOPE Coalition’s leadership have been closely watching the development and impact of COVID-19. With information from the CDC, MDH, as well as local and national coalitions we are taking proactive measures for the health and safety of the people that we serve as well as our staff. The majority of HOPE Coalition’s services have been deemed Tier II essential services by the governor’s office and HOPE Coalition will continue our services but in ways that have been modified to increase safety for all.

At all of our locations, we have implemented: increased regular sanitization of work spaces, encouraged handwashing for a minimum of 20 seconds, requested that people cover all coughs and sneezes, asked employees to stay home if they are ill, utilized social distancing (3 to 6 feet) and refrained from physical contact of any sort (including handshakes, hugs, and other forms of touch). When possible, we are allowing some employees to work remotely. Community based clients are welcome to call in for services. No clients will be seen directly at our offices.
