The Hoff Foundation - Interview with Judy Hoff and Dawn Dietz

About the Hoff Foundation: Our mission is to break the dysfunctional cycle that leads to sex-traffcking, compromised mental health, addiction, homelessness, or trauma in women and children. We accomplish this through three programs: Esther's Place, a Day Resource Center offering  underserved and unhoused women and their children a safe, warm place to get a hot shower, clean clothes, food, hygiene supplies,  critical resources, and community Monday - Friday from 9a-4p. Esther's Place is located at 3705 Broadway, Everett. Through  New Creation Communities Housing Program (NCCHP), where we have 2 WAQRR Level 2 state certified recovery homes. Here women are offered a safe place to heal and grow, offering them not just a bed, but wrap-around services that include recovery coaching, counseling, trauma resources, life skills classes, job readiness and more. Lastly, through transformational makeovers with Queen It's A New Day. We invite women who are transitioning back into the workplace a complete makeover from the inside out, offering haircuts & styles,  makeup makeovers, manicures & pedicures, and 3 professional outfits with accessories. They hear inspirational success stories from former "Queens" that give them hope when they need it the most.  About Judy: Judy Hoff is a licensed pastor, counselor, author, and speaker. In all of her work she gives glory to God. She has created programs to help men, women and children to become sufficient members of society.   These programs have over 20 years of proven success.
