HOPE Community Partnership
Smaller communities with fewer resources have a valuable partner in HOPE.
Small, rural towns often lack community and economic development staff, leaving the towns at a disadvantage when competing for resources – especially in high poverty areas. Recognizing the need in these municipalities, HOPE initiated the HOPE Community Partnership.
The Partnership provides strategic and focused community and economic development training and technical assistance for communities. Hope Enterprise Corporation (HOPE) manages the Partnership, working closely with municipalities, community stakeholders, and residents to identify high priority projects, such as the redevelopment of schools, hospitals, grocery stores and high quality affordable housing.
The ultimate goals of the Partnership are to advance key economic development projects, attract private and public resources, expand economic opportunity, and build the financial capability of the communities and their residents.
