donation drive

House of Hope Community Development Corporation is a non-profit organization founded in 1989 in Warwick, Rhode Island, with a mission to prevent and end homelessness in the state and end the personal and social trauma of homelessness. We create affordable housing delivered with life-changing services and work with other advocates for policies to ensure that everyone can have a safe, stable home. This year House of Hope CDC will serve 1,000 + individuals; we have housed 170. Our team of exceptional case managers provides a host of supportive services to assist our shelter guests in securing income, health insurance, and most importantly, permanent housing.
