Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Homes of Hope began in 1998 when we discovered a need for safe, affordable and energy-efficient housing options for those in our community earning a low-to-moderate income. The gap between minimum wage and fair market rent has escalated through the years, and that need has only intensified. We provide market-value rentals at a below-market rate, offering families an opportunity to escape survival mode, catch their breath and make steps towards economic mobility. Our Men’s Workforce Development program is a voluntary, one-year residential program where men overcoming addictions can pursue revolutionary change through biblical-based discipleship, life skills and construction-related job training. We ensure that each man in our program is fully equipped upon graduation.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Affordable Housing

Our goal is to provide safe, affordable, and energy-efficient housing for low-to-moderate income families or individuals. Families and individuals without a safe place to call home lack an essential element that must exist. Through our four housing strategies, we aim to meet the housing needs of South Carolina families.

Four Housing Strategies:
Affordable Rental Housing
Home Ownership
LoCAL Housing
Housing Solution for Homeless Service Providers

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people
Families

Our Men’s Development program is a voluntary one-year residential job training and mentoring program for men overcoming drug and alcohol addictions. Through biblical based discipleship, life skills training, and construction-related job training, men receive the ingredients necessary to start a new life.

It is the goal that each man graduates with the Four Pillars of Success:
1) Education Improvement
2) Affordable and reliable transportation
3) Marketability and employment
4) Affordable Housing

Population(s) Served
Men and boys
Substance abusers

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Homes of Hope rebuilds communities and individual lives through housing, economic development, and job training. We aim to see our housing clients operating on the 3 B's of financial wellness (budgeting, banking, and building savings) and to see the graduates of our Men's Development program equipped with better education, affordable and reliable transportation, affordable and energy-efficient housing, and stable employment. Our goals revolve around facilitating true life change in our clients' lives so our positive impacts are long-term and sustainable.

We use four main strategies in developing affordable housing:
1) Affordable Rental Housing: affordable and energy efficient rental housing allows families time to breathe and escape survival mode.
2) Home Ownership: some families are over-income for other housing programs, but still can't afford market-rate homeownership. We fill that gap.
3) LoCAL Housing: families living at poverty-level have very few good housing options; our LoCAL housing program provides them with Long-term, Compact, Affordable, and LEED-standard homes.
4) Housing Solution for Homeless Service Providers: families transitioning from homeless services programs need a permanent housing solution and we partner with local organizations to help make home happen for people experiencing homelessness.

We aim to see men graduate our program with the following Four Pillars:
1) Affordable Housing
2) Education Improvement
3) Marketability & Living Wage Employment
4) Affordable and Reliable Transportation

We use partnerships with local colleges and employers to provide job and life skills to the men in our program and ensure these four pillars are met when they graduate.

In our 23 years of operation, we have developed strong partnerships and best practices for accomplishing our goals. Through our collaborations with other service providers in the Upstate, we are able to provide wrap-around services to our clients and identify vulnerable families who qualify for our programs. Our partnerships with the local technical college and electrical firms in the area have guaranteed employment above the self-sustaining wage for all our graduates of the Men's Development program in the last two years.
Homes of Hope also maintains a strong culture of constant improvement and learning, sending staff members to conferences and classes so we can better serve our clients and run an efficient and responsible program that meets our goals.

So far, we have developed 643 units of affordable rental housing in Upstate South Carolina and graduated 321 men from our Men's Development Program.
