Our Story

Hope Heals San Antonio sign with hands forming a heart - our symbol of community and compassion

Our Mission

We are a coalition led by individuals with firsthand experience of homelessness. Our work is guided by real-life expertise—strengthening the community by supporting those who help people transition with dignity.

Our Aim

We bring people together and build healthy relationships to support those working to permanently transition out of homelessness. Through capacity building, training, and coordination, we're creating a more compassionate San Antonio—one that responds to unsheltered neighbors with dignity and effective supportive services.

Street Outreach Leadership

Chris Parker serves as our Street Pastor, using a relationship-centered approach to build trust and mentor individuals through their transition journey. Through compassionate street case management, he helps neighbors navigate resources and services with patience and understanding.

Humility

Approaching our work with openness and a willingness to learn from every person we serve.

Respect

Treating every individual with dignity, regardless of their circumstances.

Collaboration

Working together with partners, organizations, and communities to maximize impact.

The Coalition

Stronger Together

The Hope Heals Coalition is built on firsthand experience and genuine community connection. We bring together SA Hope Center, All Wellness Center, First Presbyterian Church, Broken Warriors Angels, Life Restored, Mental Health Professionals, STCH Ministries, and trained community members to coordinate supportive services and advocacy efforts across San Antonio.

01

Immediate Outreach

Connecting neighbors to resources for mental and physical well-being. We provide support for Traumatic Brain Injury and mental health through group meetings, creating safe spaces for healing and connection.

02

Intervention

Non-confrontational street outreach that meets people where they are. We help neighbors navigate complex challenges through compassionate case management and build social networks that support those facing crisis.

03

Systems Advocacy

Increasing awareness for mental health needs among community stakeholders. We work to remove barriers—including streamlining ID recovery—so neighbors can access the services they deserve.

04

Building a Narrative of Change

Sharing success stories to inspire hope and demonstrate the power of community support. We champion youth financial literacy to foster resilience and break cycles before they begin.

Our Impact

Every training session, every partnership, and every advocacy effort moves us closer to a San Antonio where everyone is treated with dignity.
