2006
Hope and a Home envisions a city in which all families have
affordable housing, excellent education, rewarding employment and vibrant community connections.
Hope and a Home celebrated a terrific first year as a non-profit
organization in 2006. Founded to create affordable housing and lasting
change for DC families and neighborhoods, we are pleased and proud to
share our accomplishments with you in this first annual report.
• We worked with low income parents and children to achieve their
dreams of stable, affordable homes, excellent education, rewarding work
and valuable connections in their neighborhoods.
• With lead support from the Freddie Mac Foundation, the Meyer
Foundation and Countrywide Bank, we hired new staff to expand our
program and fundraising capacities.
• We renovated a vacant row house in the Shaw neighborhood to
serve as our new office in partnership with the 15th Street Presbyterian
Church, volunteers from Holy Trinity’s
Hands On Housing program and the
Philip L. Graham Fund.
• Our Board of Directors led our
planning process as we established
strategic goals for the next three years
and recruited four new Board members
whose commitment and skills will
advance our mission.
• Hope and a Home was named “one of the finest smaller charities
Greater Washington has to offer” in the 2006 Catalogue for Philanthropy.
We also received our neighborhood civic association’s Community
Service Award for Work and Thrive, our summer jobs program for
neighborhood teens.
We are inspired by the achievements of the parents and children
we serve, by our belief that the revitalization of Washington, DC
can benefit all residents, and by the commitment
and generosity of longtime supporters
and new friends.
We invite you to stay involved —
or to consider becoming involved —
as we continue to expand
our efforts to produce great
results for parents, children
and our city.

The Next Three Years
Our strategic plan calls for deepening our work and reaching more low income
families. Future activities will include:
•
improving our capacity to address job readiness, mental health
and credit needs with parents in our transitional housing;
•
providing enhanced services to families as they graduate from
our transitional housing to market rate rentals;
•
increasing the number of apartments that we own or manage
from 18 units to 28 units;
•
partnering with developers to include affordable housing and our
empowerment programs in new developments that we do not own or manage.
