Welcome

Thanks for visiting House of Hope’s new website! We are pleased to be able to provide a “snapshot” look at our clients, programs, services and housing opportunities that combine to fulfill our mission of helping disadvantaged families and individuals reach their fullest potential. House of Hope was “born” in 1989 in a church basement—a small band of social justice activists who saw a need and sought ways to fill it by providing shelter to the homeless in area churches. But that wasn’t enough. House of Hope quickly grew into a nonprofit organization that provides permanent housing so that families and individuals in need would have their own apartments and know that they had a place to come home to every day. Since that modest beginning some 19 years ago, we have bought, built, renovated and currently manage nine multi-unit housing properties, totaling 38 transitional and permanent supportive housing units for homeless adults and families with children.

House of Hope has taken the lead in advocacy for the disadvantaged and the homeless, focusing on basic needs first—permanent housing and comprehensive social services. Today, demands for our services from residents throughout Rhode Island total nearly 3,500 requests per year, in the form of housing, counseling, and referrals for outreach assistance.

We hope that you are encouraged, maybe even inspired by our work and will join with us to eradicate homelessness and transform imagination into reality. With your help it can be done…and most importantly, it’s the right thing to do.
