Hope Community, Inc.

Hope Community, Inc. is committed to building better communities and enriching the lives of the people who live and work within East Harlem (First Avenue to Fifth Ave, between East 96th Street and East 143rd Street). We sponsor, construct, and operate attractive and high quality affordable rental housing and sponsor home ownership opportunities. Through the creation of new and revitalized commercial spaces, we encourage the growth and success of neighborhood businesses.

We believe that personal responsibility, combined with collective action, is the key to effecting lasting community change. Working collaboratively with other organizations, and in partnership with our constituents, Hope Community forges the ties that bind people together into economically and culturally diverse neighborhoods. By providing quality architecture, public art and dynamic public spaces – and by providing referrals to an array of community services, we demonstrate our commitment to building better communities and enriching the lives of the people who reside and work within them.
