The HOPE House is
an intentional
covenant community in Chicago's Back of the Yards that can accommodate ten (10) residents who volunteer twenty (20) hours
per month at the Port Ministries. Candidates who are eligible are selected via
an application and interview process. The selections are based on candidate’s experience,
understanding of organization’s mission, community diversity, and desire to actively
participate in spiritual communal living. Residents are asked to focus their
volunteering on developing and supervising projects and services that allow
them to take advantage of their skill set and passions while addressing the
needs of the community.
