Because of You 2013-2014 Year in Review
Dear Friends of
House of Hope CDC,
Twenty five years ago, a small group of caring individuals had a vision: to
establish a safe place for local families faced with homelessness. Fast
forward 25 years, and House of Hope Community Development Corporation
is Rhode Island’s leading not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing
long term solutions to ending homelessness. We offer proven solutions to
those beset by chronic homelessness through our comprehensive program
of housing, social services and advocacy.
Twenty five years ago, we flew by the seat of our pants; today we have made great strides in
understanding the causes and prevention of homelessness, enabling us to reduce the number of
homeless people who’ve languished for years in shelters. Twenty five years ago, we were volunteers,
driven by compassion; today, we’re an experienced, educated organization, staffed by highly trained
and seasoned professionals, who still are guided by hearts with wings.
In 2014, House of Hope CDC is remembering our past and celebrating our future. This annual report is
dedicated to the vision of our founders and to the progress we’ve made during the last quarter century.
The report also highlights our work over this past year to help our homeless find their way back home.
• We increased social services by including an Access to Recovery program, funded by
BHDDH, which provided 258 individuals with substance abuse screenings and referral
to recovery programs.
Because
Because • We authorized 36 rental subsidies through the state’s new Rental Voucher for the
Chronically Homeless program.
Of
Of • At Harrington Hall, we expanded services beyond those of just an overnight shelter by
creating daytime social services and programs in the building’s lower level.
You
You • Also at Harrington Hall, we partnered with several organizations to add special healthcare,
psychiatric and relapse recovery services.
• We expanded our Outreach Program, providing home-based supportive services to 126
individuals, helping them remain in their permanent homes.
• House of Hope pushed forward with the conversion of Warwick’s historic Fair House,
which will provide 10 apartments of permanent supportive housing. We won funding
and local approvals for the project, clearing the way for construction early next year.
This year, we continued to earn our supporters trust by maximizing the funds that we invest in program
and housing development. We remain faithful stewards of the generous financial support we’ve
received from our community partners and dedicated donors, which, in 2013, resulted in a 13.6%
increase in revenue.
For the past 25 years, House of Hope has been guided by one unwavering vision: that every person
should have a safe place to call home. With the help of our friends and supporters, we will continue
House of Hope CDC pursuing this goal until we end homelessness in Rhode Island.
We know how to do this – so let’s just do it!

less for three years. Although disabled and unable

and making new connections. One of his favorite
pastimes is taking a bike ride down to the beach.
