About Hillcrest Platte County

Adults in the Hillcrest Platte County Transitional program are required to find and maintain full-time employment, and attend a minimum of 4 of the supportive services sessions weekly. The goal of these programs is to move families and individuals from homelessness to self-sufficiency, attaining permanent housing, long-term employment, and stabilized living for their children. Hillcrest serves Northland homeless families who are willing to work full-time and apply themselves to reaching self-sufficiency.

The average age of a homeless person in the Missouri/Kansas area is 7 years old. Most families are a single parent with multiple small children so children are a focus of the Hillcrest program, as well. Tutoring, field trips, mentoring, summer camp, and a youth group program provide resident children with the increased attention that is needed to reinforce education and learning as an important aspect of daily life. This is vital since many of the children have fallen behind in classes and developed behavior problems as a result of the instability of homelessness.

The need is growing; Hillcrest offers a solution that is proven. 95% of our graduates go on to be self-supporting, contributing members of our community. Hillcrest is a unique solution to homelessness designed to give homeless families and youth the motivation and training needed to break the poverty-welfare cycle and lead independent lives. Since 1976 Hillcrest has helped the KC area meet the needs of homeless families. Please join Hillcrest as we change the trajectory of the lives of the families we serve.
