H.O.P.E. - What We are About


H.O.P.E.'s Mission:

To empower people -- within the Detroit community it serves -- to change from “brokenness” to “wholeness” That through restorative practices we strive to eliminate the barriers that impede the progress of those affected by the injustice of the judicial system in our communities.


H.O.P.E.'s Vision:

We believe that promise and opportunity are transformative.  Our objective is to provide clinical transition and community-based social support services to formerly incarcerated Detroit residents that will empower them to positively transform their lives and reduce recidivism.


H.O.P.E.'s Goals:

We. strive to strengthen families through education, and developmental programs and services. We will promote the health and wellness of youth, adults and the elderly, with special attention to at risk populations. To achieve these goals, we will:


  • Support families through temporary assistance to enable self-sufficiency.

  

  • Health and Wellness by enabling mental /physical well-being and healthy lifestyles.


  • Formerly Incarcerated by providing an avenue for re-entry to society.
