About Holy Cross Services

HCS specializes in empowerment and trauma recovery for children and families engaged in the child welfare system and supporting our neighbors to end their episodes of homelessness. Although these areas of service have significant intersection, we operate our programs through three functional arms:

• Division of Family-Based Care and Youth Transition
• Division of Residential Care and Family Healing
• Division of Housing and Community Advocacy

HCS’s Foster Care in Michigan are headquartered out of the New Hope Community Center in Lansing and operates as the Tri-County’s (Ingham, Eaton and Clinton) only low-barrier homeless shelter.

Our division offers three primary services:

1. Emergency Overnight Shelter and case management
2. Transitional Housing Program for Male Veterans’
3. A Day Center & Community Kitchen

The New Hope Community Center also partners with the Ingham County Health Department to provide low-to- no-cost medical care for our participants and community members.

If you are based in Ingham, Eaton, or Clinton counties and need emergency shelter, please call us at 517-484-4414.

Holy Cross Services helps hundreds of children find foster homes every year. We are committed to providing safe homes where children are cared for and can get a healthy start in life.  We support our foster parents with both initial and ongoing training to help them succeed. We ensure Foster Care parents meet state licensing requirements, while providing the resources they need to be healthy influences to some of Michigan’s most vulnerable children
