Project Hope is a multi-service agency at the forefront of efforts in Boston to move families beyond homelessness and poverty. It provides low-income women with children with access to education, jobs, housing, and emergency services ; fosters their personal transformation ; and works for broader systems change. Twenty-five years ago, when the Little Sisters of the Assumption opened their convent doors to homeless women with children, Project Hope was first launched. It became one of the first family shelters in the state and its own nonprofit organization. Today, under the direction of Sr. Margaret Leonard, Project Hope is a leader not only in efforts to end family homelessness, but to prevent it in the first place with a mission of partnering with families to move up and out of poverty. The multi-service agency provides low-income women with children access to education, jobs, housing and emergency services ; fosters their personal transformation ; and works for broader systems change. Project Hope's headquarters on Dudley Street was completed in 2006 and is LEED certified making it Roxbury's first "green" building. The Community Building is the new center for adult education, workforce development and housing services for the community. In addition to its new site, its original Magnolia Street facility, just a few blocks away, remains home to the family shelter and child care center.
