Project H.O.P.E.

Description

The vision of Project H.O.P.E. is to coordinate efforts that lead the faith community to the mission of mentoring families and individuals from very low income or welfare to dignity and successful transition toward self-reliance. This includes supporting area efforts that strengthen mentoring as a viable solution to enable the plans of people to improve their ability to become self-reliant. Project H.O.P.E. will work with communities to establish and support efforts to fill social service gaps for mentored participants, such as developing housing shelters, transitional housing programs, the development of affordable housing, meeting transportation needs, and to encourage IDA (Individual Development Accounts) and their development of cooperative, small businesses through which participants can share in the wealth of our free-enterprise economy.
