For 25 years, Bound Together has provided tutoring, friendship and community to children and their families in Pontiac, Michigan. “BT” was founded in 1994 by parishioners at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pontiac as a response to the needs of students in a neighboring school. In 1999, Bound Together became an independent non-profit organization, working in close partnership with area churches, civic and government agencies, to provide tutoring, a hot evening meal, as well as offering enrichment programming in the arts and healthy lifestyles to twenty-five elementary students.
Pontiac is a comeback city, writing the story of its recovery.

HOPE provides safe and judgment-free shelter, innovative programs and public advocacy to end homelessness
HOPE’s adult shelter is open from 5 PM until 9 AM providing dinner, triage healthcare, showers, overnight shelter and access to resources that can be a pathway out of homelessness.
HOPE is a low barrier shelter, meaning that we do not require ID documents, we do not require sobriety (substances may not be brought onto the HOPE property) and no transportation barrier (because we bring most service-providers to the shelter).
Which means that while we have a zero tolerance for bringing drugs and/or alcohol on the premises, sobriety is not a condition for entry to the shelter. We do, however, expect and strictly enforce that shelter guests will follow staff directions and exhibit good behavior.
No previous registration is needed to spend the night at HOPE. Each year, more than 250 HOPE guests exit the shelter to a place they can call home — and keep as their home.
