We love the home we built with the help of HOPE. Our home is spacious with natural lighting from big windows, and plenty of storage space. Those are great underrated features in a home. Providing our kids with their own rooms where they can grow in their individuality, independence and creativity through making the space their own; really expressing themselves. It's exciting to see them thrive. Not to mention the washer and dryer are a huge time saver in its convenience. It eliminates the need to go to the laundromat or spend extra time at a shared facility. The hope program has been a pivotal for me and my family in achieving our goals. The program has made ownership more accessible and affordable. It has a significant step in building wealth and represents a long-term investment that will appreciate over-time. The down payment assistance program directly contributed to making homeownership more attainable and affordable as part of our financial reality. My sister Giselle was inspired to consider homeownership through the HOPE Program during a recent visit to our home. It's great to see her taking proactive steps towards that goal and I know it's possible with HOPE.

Sincerely,

Sophia , HOPE homeowner

H.O.P.E. has been instrumental in the mission of creating homeownership opportunities for many in the region. They have also been the utmost gamechanger in turning neighborhoods that historically had been rentals into owner-occupied neighborhoods, thus improving the property values, stability, and safety of the area. They are a great partner and advocate in the county.

I have been a local builder in Southeastern Connecticut for the last 20 years. I was fortunate enough to meet HOPE Inc. About 14 years ago. In that time I have had the pleasure of building or renovating 10 homes for them. Their commitment to quality, sustainable and affordable housing is second to none. Their projects are well planned and organized. The dedication this organization has to fill the void for quality, safe and affordable housing is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise ultra competitive market. I look forward to continuing our relationship to help deserving families achieve the goal of home ownership.

HOPE is an excellent local organization that is laser-focused on its mission to provide affordable housing for low income families. Through our efforts, we engage local entities to aid in helping us build and rehab single and multi-family residences mostly located in New London, CT. Through our rental programs we prepare would-be first time homeowners for the challenges of home ownership.

For over 35 years, HOPE has been a community partner dedicated to improving the availability of quality housing. As someone who is involved in many local organizations I am most proud to serve on HOPE's Board of Directors.
