Our
work
We resonate with the mission of New Hope Church to “restore hope one life at a time" on Xenia Avenue and in the Twin Towers neighborhood.
We envision a community where people walk with others through:
-
support, learning groups and mentoring relationships
-
community events that build a sense of belonging
We are uniquely positioned to help people overcome issues related to poverty, joblessness, homelessness, and addiction through addiction recovery and life skill development programs, and workforce development initiatives.
OUR Contributions
New Hope Church and New Hope Project, Inc. have made these positive contributions to the Twin Towers community:
-
We purchased a quickly deteriorating block and have improved the façade, roof, and interiors. Now, according to a recent CityWide Development Corporation report, the block we own has the most viable space for future economic and commercial development on Xenia Avenue.
-
We turned a neighborhood bar into a space for addiction recovery meetings.
-
We provide a gathering place where individuals and families can come for support, encouragement, healthy community.
-
We help people to identify and live with a sense of purpose through a connection to a higher power and to people who care about them.
