Moving People Forward
Moving People Forward is Center for Hope's first fundraising campaign designed to create more opportunities for our residents to take steps towards stability and independence.
For the campaign, our goal is to grant a greater focus on creating spaces, resources, and experiences that support residents’ personal development, daily needs, and overall quality of life.
FIVE INITIATIVES. ONE VISION.
Through five resident-centered initiatives, Center for Hope is creating additional ways for residents to learn, participate, connect, and take positive steps toward their goals.
Each initiative is intended to provide practical resources while encouraging engagement and a greater sense of community. Together, these efforts are designed to help residents move forward one opportunity, one goal, and one step at a time.
THE HOPE KITCHEN
A refreshment space available to all residents that offers snacks and give residents the opportunity to develop their cooking skills and gain hands-on kitchen experience.
THE HOPE CLOSET
A resource space available to all residents that stores clothing and essential items for anyone in need of an emergency wardrobe or in need of professional / work attire.
THE HOPE WELLNESS CENTER
A dedicated space available to all residents who are interested in focusing in on physical fitness, self-care, and overall wellness.
THE HOPE LIBRARY
A multi-purpose space available to all residents who are interested in reading books, learning computer skills, and/or participating in any educational activities.
THE HOPE GARDEN
An outdoorsy space available to all residents who are interested in gardening, learning practical skills, or simply looking to get in touch with their natural environment.
OUR PROGRAMS
Hope Incentive Program
Starting in September 2026, The Hope Incentive System is designed to encourage positive behavior, increase participation and build responsibility among Center for Hope residents.
Residents can participate by completing assigned tasks, attending case management meetings, and following program expectations to receive points.
Points are tracked consistently and can be later translated into rewards. Earned points can be redeemed through the Hope Store and for other approved incentives and opportunities.
The Hope Shop
Opening in October 2026, The Hope Shop is a resident-centered outlet where participants can use earned points to select items and rewards.
The store offers personal care products, snacks, and other items based on needs and preferences. It gives residents a greater choice and a tangible way to benefit from their participation in Hope Incentive program.
The Hope Shop also creates opportunities for residents to practice responsibility through inventory, organization, and work-participation activities.
Ultimately, the store is designed to recognize residents’ efforts while providing meaningful and useful rewards.
