Homeless Services in Michigan

Building a Strong Community Together!

Beginning October 1, 2018, Volunteers of America Michigan (VOAMI) transferred the VOAMI Lansing facility and operations to Holy Cross Services (HCS), now named the “New Hope Community Center” located at 430 N. Larch St., Lansing, Michigan.

This excellent and comprehensive homeless service system annually serves over 7,000 homeless veterans, adults and children.

With this new service system, Holy Cross Services now provides a myriad of services in Ingham County for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless within a fourteen day period.
