About us
MISSION | To be a transitional housing program providing an empowering environment helping homeless families become self-supportive, self-reliant contributors to society. ABOUT | Hillcrest Transitional Housing offers homeless families, singles and youth a disciplined educational program within a caring, supportive environment. Unlike many organizations whose focus is one-time or emergency care, Hillcrest’s primary objective is to move clients from homelessness to self-sufficiency by addressing the total life situation of the homeless families they serve. TRANSITIONAL HOUSING FOR ADULTS & YOUTH | The transitional housing program focuses on moving clients to self-sufficiency within a 90-day time frame; households with more barriers to permanent housing may receive longer term transitional housing assistance. Hillcrest also provides a transitional housing program for homeless teens and young adults, ages 16-20, who have an educational goal. This unique program offers housing and supportive services for up to 24 months. In exchange for rent- and utility-free housing, adults are required by written agreement to find full-time employment, obey program guidelines and attend weekly volunteer-taught classes in life skills, employment, community living and budgeting. Through a network of community supporters and funders, Hillcrest also may provide transitional housing clients with car repair/donation, food, medical assistance, dental work, GED classes, haircuts, glasses, school clothes, work uniforms, etc. RAPID RE-HOUSING | Hillcrest also provides programming and services called Rapid Re-Housing through its service offices in Clay & Clinton Counties in Missouri, to literally homeless youth, singles & families who are seeking housing in the Northland, Northern MO & Northwestern MO. This program provides case management, budgeting and financial counseling and financial assistance to move homeless clients into rental housing. Clients must be literally homeless to qualify.

Volunteer Spotlight 🌟 Kim Sims, a licensed realtor, began volunteering as a Budget Counselor for Hillcrest 90-Day residents in the fall of 2024! She meets weekly with a resident to offer tailored support and advice to help clients achieve their financial goals while going through the program to become self-sufficient. Kim is always positive and cheerful, and creates a welcoming environment for both staff and clients at Hillcrest. Her patience, encouragement, and thoughtful guidance reflect her deep commitment to making a meaningful impact. Kim says she is truly grateful to be part of an organization whose mission she deeply admires.

A few members of Hillcrest leadership, Tom Lally, Lu Ann Ross, Darnell Smith, and Patricia Rader, completed the 16-week Institute by CSH, the national leader in training and project development for increasing supportive housing. As part of their final project for the Institute, Hillcrest presented on the potential project entitled Hillcrest Forward, a 30-50 unit development located on the existing Hillcrest housing campus in Kansas City, KS. This potential project includes comprehensive support and program services. We would like to thank the sponsors of the Institute for allowing us to participate!
