Project HOPE Boston Inc

Project HOPE Boston is a multi-service agency in Roxbury that works to move families up and out of poverty. It focuses on women and children in low-income households, giving them access to education, jobs, housing and emergency services in one place. The agency describes its path as running from homelessness to stable careers, helping mothers build lasting economic independence while also advocating for broader changes to the systems that keep families in poverty.

Its integrated model combines three areas. Housing services range from emergency shelter to housing placement. Education and workforce programs offer ESOL, digital literacy, adult basic education, financial literacy and job readiness training. The Family Childcare Network supports women in operating licensed childcare businesses, building income and stability for their own families. Together the programs aim to help families not only secure stable housing but sustain it through higher income and stronger support systems.
