Founded in 2000, Urban Hope is a housing nonprofit that partners with clients to gain financial health, secure safe, quality, affordable rental housing, and chart pathways to homeownership. Our work is inspired by Christian faith, led by and centered on residents, and focused on the East End of Richmond, VA. In our rapidly-changing neighborhood, we prioritize racial equity, are committed to anti-displacement practices and policies, and seek to build towards an inclusive and just community where everyone can find a home. Urban Hope is the only agency in the East End of Richmond focused on rental housing that remains affordable for people making below 50% Area Median Income (AMI).
Join our efforts to create, protect, and sustain affordable housing for people living on low incomes.
