Hope Communities was founded in 1980 by a group of concerned citizens, troubled by the growing number of their friends and neighbors who were unable to advance economically due to, among other barriers, a lack of safe, affordable housing. The organization was created around community activists Ray and Marilyn Stranske’s kitchen table and set its sights on Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood as a starting point.
One of six founding members of Enterprise Community Partners, a pioneering and nationwide affordable housing developer, Hope Communities has been directly involved in the creation of thousands of units of affordable housing in Denver over the years.
Currently, we operate four affordable and supportive housing communities in the diverse Denver neighborhoods of East Colfax, Five Points, and Northeast Park Hill. While the development and operation of affordable rental housing remains central to our work, Hope Communities was founded on the belief that housing is the first step toward self-sufficiency. Keeping true to the original mission, we endeavor to provide struggling individuals and families with pathways to economic security through onsite programs and services that are relevant to their needs and offered free of charge.
