ECSA News— House of Hope

Go Red!

Your ECSA recently made a donation to the House of Hope in War-

wick.

Homelessness can happen to anyone. All it takes is a catastrophic ill-

ness, a loss of income, or a myriad of other unforeseen events. Today

there are over 4,000 homeless Rhode Islanders, many who you may

recognize as friends, family, or neighbors.

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 home-

lessness in the state. We do this in two basic ways: providing affordable housing and by counsel-

ing homeless persons to help them overcome the various causes of their homelessness.

Our philosophy is built on the foundation that everyone deserves housing and has unique poten-

tial to be successful. From that foundation, we are reducing the impact of homelessness on indi-

viduals, families, and the community by working with clients to regain their independence, access

and maintain stable housing, and overcome the crushing experience of homelessness.
