Bert Hunt

House of Hope 316
Director

Bert Hunt – Vice-President of H10 Ministries, the Director of the House of Hope 316, author of “A Burro For Jesus” (Amazon books)- lives in Prescott Valley with his wife, Stephanie – Married for 50 years with 3 children and 5 grandchildren. His greatest joy in life is his best friend Jesus, his family, watching God love and help people through those who follow Him.

The House of Hope 316 is a part of “H10 Ministries” – H10 Ministries began in 2006 and is named after Chapter “10” of the book of Hebrews (Bible) – verses 23-24 “Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.”

H10 Ministries is a 501c3 non-profit organization (and Qualified Charitable Organization for the Arizona Tax Credit – QCO # 22322) that seeks to touch lives, change hearts, and love people to Christ by helping provide for their spiritual and physical needs.
Mission – In 2006, H10 Ministries began focusing on helping to provide assistance to individuals and families with basic needs and resources, allowing us to have a more long-term impact in our communities. H10 reaches out to help meet tangible needs to low-income individuals & families and to the homeless community in Arizona.

House of Hope 316 – providing 24-hour housing and food for the elderly homeless in Yavapai County. This began in 2017 when we met an elderly man who was homeless and sleeping in his car. After about 2 years of praying and planning, we opened our first home for the elderly homeless with 5 residents. There are now 4 homes that house 35 residents (as of 7/1/2025), all in Prescott Valley. We operate with a tight (but increasing) budget. We have a small staff (4 part-time;1 full-time). The residents help make the ministry happen by doing many of the daily chores (cooking, cleaning, laundry) because it is their home, this gives them an area of responsibility, and it helps our budget by reducing our need for paid staff.
No one is turned away for financial reasons. Residents help makes this all happen – doing daily chores (reducing our need for staff) and paying some rent (based on their income). This covers about 42% of our expenses. 58% comes from donations. Those with no income pay no rent. We have grown as the need grows (elderly homeless).
Since opening in 2019 – we have provided housing to 88 people and our budget for House of Hope 316 has grown by 500%. We have 4 duplexes – we rent 3 ; we are buying 1 – thanks to the owners making financial allowances since we didn’t have the money needed for the purchase in 2023. God continues to provide for us as we love and care for people for Him.
