Housing and Homelessness

Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere (HOPE)

Building solidarity with Rhode Island’s homeless community through joint advocacy and direct service (Homeless People’s Action Committee, RI Coalition for the Homeless, Street Sights)

Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere (HOPE) grew out of a 2003 Break Project and has as its mission building solidarity with the homeless community in Rhode Island. Students engaged with HOPE work closely with Homeless People’s Action Committee and the RI Coalition for the Homeless to support their advocacy efforts. HOPE supports a number of direct service efforts to meal sites, shelters and other community agencies. HOPE also helps support the Street Sights Newspaper.
