New Hope Housing's core purpose is to create life-stabilizing affordable apartment homes with a sense of dignity for adults who live singly on limited incomes. Our vision is to develop and operate supportive single room occupancy (SRO) communities for more than 1,000 adults by 2015.

Deputy Secretary Ron Sims from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development visits New Hope Housing’s Canal Street Apartments. Community partners and city officials enjoyed a tour of the Canal Street property along with the Deputy Secretary. The tour was followed by a small, private discussion about transit center housing and sustainable communities.

Currently, our 57-unit 1414 Congress SRO is closed for renovation and will reopen in mid-2010.

New Hope's properties are consistently fully occupied. This underscores the strong demand for affordable SRO housing.
