Pinellas Hope

Pinellas Hope is a program of Catholic Charities Diocese of St. Petersburg serving homeless adults in Clearwater. Established in 2007 on land donated by the Diocese, the program combines temporary emergency shelter with supportive services intended to help residents move toward self-sufficiency.

Services described by Pinellas Hope include food, transportation, employment assistance, health-related support, adult education, mental health services, and other community resources. Its permanent supportive housing program provides income-based housing for qualifying adults who were formerly homeless, including housing dedicated to veterans.

Pinellas Hope also offers a Medical Respite program for eligible individuals discharged from a BayCare hospital who lack a home where they can recover. Hope Cottages provide individual, air-conditioned rooms designed to improve safety, privacy, and comfort for people transitioning from homelessness.
