Our programs make an impact

Project Hope: Theory of Change

Project Hope collaborates with Roxbury and North Dorchester families to improve housing, education, health, and economic mobility outcomes that lead to empowering leaders, a connected community, and an overall enhanced quality of life for residents.

Four Key Programs

Our housing department provides a range of diverse services to help families achieve emergency and long-term housing stability, including re-housing and case management services. We also partner with other local organizations and city agencies to address family homelessness in our community.

Established in the 1980s, our Family Shelter in Dorchester was one of the first family shelters in the state of Massachusetts.

The shelter was the first program at Project Hope. Our other programs grew out of the needs of our shelter residents over the years.

The Project Hope Family Child Care Network supports neighborhood-based childcare Educators with business, professional development, and more. Together, we work to ensure that families have local, high-quality childcare options in Roxbury and the surrounding communities.

Our workforce and adult education department provides hundreds of women in Roxbury and Dorcesterwith programming and support, including English language proficiency, adult education, workforce development, and employment opportunities.
