H.O.P.E., Inc

At H.O.P.E., Inc., we are committed to creating affordable housing for low-income families, with a special focus on "the working poor." Our mission is to provide housing opportunities that empower lifelong renters to become first-time homeowners. We strive to promote equity and break the cycle of generational poverty. Through our efforts, we aim to build stronger communities where everyone has the chance to thrive and achieve financial stability while establishing generational wealth for their families.

Quantifying H.O.P.E., Inc.'s impact is multifaceted. We directly manage 10 affordable housing rentals and annually construct or renovate 1-2 units, often two-family homes. These projects not only provide affordable homeownership opportunities but also rejuvenate neighborhoods plagued by blight. We help renters become homeowners with affordable rents and homeownership classes. This contributes to the growth and prosperity of New London County and fosters a community of tax-paying citizens, which lessens the burden on social services. Our efforts break the cycle of generational poverty, offering children the foundation for generational wealth. While difficult to measure in numbers, the lasting impact of our work reverberates through the lives we touch.
