Hope in Trying Times

As a Board member of Hope Communities, I am committed to supporting their mission of helping vulnerable individuals and families to thrive, 70+ % of whom are refugees from all over the world. The Hope model - providing affordable housing with culturally competent support services from their amazing team of navigators who speak over 20 languages - has been proven to move people from poverty to self-sufficiency, and in many cases to independence and home and business ownership. As we face uncertainty about a turbulent world and anti-immigrant sentiment at home, I am resolved to focus my efforts on Hope Communities and the rich addition their clients represent for Denver's community as a whole, much as my own immigrant family contributed in the past.
