High Quality Housing for Adults with or without Disabilities

Fund Development

Project Hope, Inc., engages in Social Business based on the work of Noble Laureate Professor Muhammad Yumus. As such, our business objective is to eliminate institutionalized placement of adults with disabilities by providing high quality adult family homes and single room occupancy homes for the homeless or those at risk for becoming homeless as well as handicapped accessible transportation. Our business objective is NOT profit maximization. Our operations are grounded in:

Financial and economic sustainability
Investors get back their investment amount only. No dividend is given beyond investment money.
When investment amount is paid back, company profit stays with the company for expansion and improvement.
Gender sensitive and environmentally consciousness.
Workforce gets market wage with better working conditions.
And we do it with joy.

We continue to engage in on-going fundraising via charitable contributions. Every dime is spend on staffing and residents. As a 501(c)3, your donation is tax-deductible. We are in need of slightly used furniture, household items and supplies. We will pick up items you wish to donate.
