Hope was always very considerate and caring. The program has helped me and my family in lots of ways. Their hard work should be recognized! I enjoyed every step through the process. Thank you Hope!!
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,

Stacey is as genius’s they come! I have never met anyone who loves their job as much as she does. She is always willing to help and goes above and beyond. Hope is an amazing nonprofit and it’s wonderful to have to help people achieve the dream of owning your own home.
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.
On behalf of myself and Bushwood Golf, LLC, we are proud to support H.O.P.E., Inc. and their exceptional efforts in creating affordable housing and strengthening our community. As a donor, I have seen firsthand the profound impact H.O.P.E. has on local families, offering them stability, security, and the opportunity for a brighter future. Their commitment to improving lives aligns with our own mission of community health and well-being. The work H.O.P.E. does is transformative, not only for the families they serve but for the entire community, and we are honored to contribute to such a vital cause.
Volunteering with H.O.P.E. has been an incredible experience. The organization is dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the process of buying their first home, providing vital resources and support. Stacey, the director, is truly remarkable. Her passion and dedication shine through in everything she does. Stacey goes above and beyond to ensure that each person feels empowered and supported, making a real difference in their journey to homeownership. Volunteering with H.O.P.E. has been deeply rewarding, and I highly recommend the organization to anyone looking to get involved or seeking assistance.
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.
As a local business owner, it has been a privilege to support H.O.P.E., Inc. and their mission to provide affordable housing. Donating to this cause has been a rewarding experience, knowing that our contributions make a real difference in the lives of families in our community. Attending the recent groundbreaking ceremony was a highlight for me—seeing the direct impact of H.O.P.E.'s work and the joy it brings to those involved was inspiring. The team's dedication is truly remarkable, and we are proud to be a part of such a meaningful initiative.

I absolutely love and adore Stacey smith in my personal opinion she takes her job to heart and definitely wears her heart on her sleeve she goes above and beyond to see you succeed in everyday day life and with purchasing a home.
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.
