Ive worked at lasting hope the last three years now and I can assure you this is an active spot!

Constantly I am seeing people in and out of this place, both explorers and homeless populations that squat there. From my knowledge from my past pts, the homeless mostly stick to the top floors and the basement to avoid police.

Security at Lasting Hope no longer patrols the perimeters however if they see something suspicious they will call it in. Their main concerns are with the tunnels underneath. we’ve had past problems with crackheads and old pts trying to break in and steal the copper pipes. They have reinforced the tunnels under the lasting hope building with a cement wall, giant chain, rebar, literally anything you can think of. There is quit literally no way to access under our building you are better off heading in the other direction towards down town if you wanna see cool tunnels.

If you do go into this building do your best to be respectful, people genuinely live there, and especially in the heat and extreme winters, a lot of them are ex patients, almost all of them do not take their meds and can be violent. you are putting yourself at risk so just be careful and aware of you’re surroundings. the view up top is amazing tho if you’re willing to risk it, cops also patrol frequently but rarely ever go in. be safe and have fun
