Organizations Filed Purposes: New Hopes core purpose is to provide life-stabilizing, affordable, permanent housing with support services for people who live on very limited incomes. The nonprofit organization owns and operates single room occupancy (SRO) for individuals and affordable housing for families with children. Without permanent housing in a safe and nurturing environment, these men, women and children would be literally homeless or living in severely substandard conditions. More than 80% of New Hopes residents have an income of less than $16,000/yr. and more than 60% are formerly homeless direct indicators that New Hope serves the most vulnerable citizens. Incorporated in 1993 through the vision of the People of Christ Church Cathedral-Episcopal, New Hope Housing, Inc. and its family of organizations currently develops and manages high-quality, safe and affordable apartment homes with on-site supportive services. New Hope is recognized as having established the model for SRO housing in the State of Texas.

NHH-Canal Street Apartments, Inc.s core purpose is to provide 134 units of supportive, affordable housing for adults living singly on low incomes.

NHH at Canal 134 unitsNew Hope Housing facilitated the development and construction of NHH at Canal, owned by its subsidiary, NHH-Canal Street Apartments, Inc. The Canal building is Houstons first SRO in a neighborhood and opened in November 2005 at 2821 Canal Street in Houstons historic Second Ward/East End. Canal serves adults living singly on low incomes. The Canal development received numerous accolades including an AIA-Houston design award; the 2009 ULI-Houston Development of Distinction award; and was a finalist for ULIs 2009 Award for Excellence-North and South America.This recognition proves that affordable SRO housing can fill a public need and still be stylish - all on a shoestring budget. The development costs were funded through a public/private partnership that includes the City of Houston, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and a broad array of foundation, corporate, and individual donors.

Resident Services Program New Hope Housing offers permanent supportive housing to people who have a long-range need for low-cost, supportive housing. Of course, there are residents who prefer to live at a New Hope property during a transitional time in their lives, later reuniting with family or moving into market rate housing.Experience shows that at least fifty percent of New Hopes residents encounter instability in their lives and/or income due to isolation from family and other social contacts, illness, and loss of employment. As part of providing a supportive environment, New Hope operates the Resident Services Program, a three-pronged initiative that includes:(1) Assistance from the on-site Case Managers and Community Support Specialists who coordinate access to social services and to whom residents can turn if they are facing special difficulties;(2) Direct assistance with basic necessities and financial services that promote stability in the lives of residents; and(3) Educational opportunities/life skills training for spiritual and social well-being.These services provide the stability and self-sufficiency necessary to encourage productivity and responsibility to break the cycle of homelessness.Houston is the nations fourth largest city, yet it is woefully behind in meeting the substantiated need for more units of permanent, affordable housing. This drives New Hopes intent to be an enduring institution serving Houstons homeless and those at risk.
