One Step Closer

We are building hope for healthy families in Ward 8 - through our new Conway Health and Resource Center, opening Winter 2013.

Just not enough

Our city just doesn't have enough healthcare providers. So health issues just grow more challenging for DC's families in key wards.

More and more

We are assessing more homeless families and helping more families in shelter secure long-term housing solutions.

For 33 years, Community of Hope has provided hope and stability to low-income and homeless adults and children in DC. Our holistic range of programs - from healthcare to housing with supportive services and programs promoting strong families - helps underserved residents create stable lives for themselves and promising futures for their children.
