Stories of Hope
In July 2022, Betena Powell was referred to the Hope Florida Program. Betena is a 36-year-old mother of three and had recently been evicted from her home. The Hope Navigator was able to connect her with Operation 180, which provided Betena and her children with a temporary place to live. Betena stayed in the temporary shelter for two months until she found a secure home for her and her children. One of her biggest challenges was finding after-school care for her 14-year-old autistic daughter so she could work and provide for her family. The Hope Navigator connected her with Spark Pediatric Medical Daycare, where her daughter was accepted. To support employment, Betena was referred to CareerSource and is now working for AdventHealth in the medical field.
How Do Hope Navigators Help?
Hope Navigators possess a working understanding of the complementary resources available within both the community and government sectors. Using this "big picture" knowledge, they connect individuals to nonprofits and faith communities that provide immediate help with needs such as temporary housing, utility assistance, or meals.
After addressing immediate crisis needs, Hope Navigators work alongside Floridians to identify and overcome long-term barriers such as stable employment, mentorship, affordable childcare, and educational opportunities that support career advancement.
Beyond essential resources, Hope Navigators help promote independence and volunteerism so every Floridian can unlock their God-given potential and thrive.
