House of Hope supports the full spectrum of housing needs within our community by increasing awareness and affecting change that will help to end homelessness. Our involvement includes pounding nails on a Habitat for Humanity project, advocating before state and locally elected officials, and giving financial support to help develop supportive housing.

Habitat for Humanity helps alleviate the housing crisis by assisting low-income families construct or renovate their homes. Volunteers from House of Hope support Summer Faith Builders joining with several congregations to work on a home.
House of Hope partnered with Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative to build Prior Crossing: Housing Development for Homeless Youth. The 44-unit development provides supportive, affordable housing for homeless youth in Ramsey County, MN. “We had a goal to make a difference in the lives of St. Paul youth,” said Jack Sjoholm, House of Hope congregant and former Beacon board member.

Project Home is another way that we love our neighbors as ourselves. For over 20 years in October, House of Hope opened its doors to shelter homeless St. Paul families and provide shelter, food, security, and hospitality. Volunteers are now providing laundry support for Project Home families living at their current location. Watch a video highlighting House of Hope’s involvement and dedicated volunteers.
Women’s Advocates provides shelter and support for people escaping domestic violence. House of Hope volunteers have gathered with residents for crafts, games, and refreshments. Ask the mission team about current participation before making plans.
