RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee in Angleton, Texas has awarded the Hope through Housing Foundation a $5,000 grant to support students on their educational journeys. The grant will help launch Hope through Housing’s Building Bright Futures youth development program that focuses on after-school programs, mentoring and college/career readiness. The funding will specifically support the Lexington Square community in Angleton, Texas.

“We know that surrounding kids with positive role models is key to guiding them toward a brighter tomorrow,” said Hope through Housing President Greg Bradbard. “And we are grateful to the MLK Celebration Committee for helping us help kids to reach for their dreams!”

In collaboration with its housing partner, National CORE, the Hope through Housing Foundation provides a stable living environment for low-income individuals and families who may otherwise be at-risk of homelessness. It provides family stabilization leading to economic mobility through the combination of a secure, affordable apartment home and onsite services that empower adults to overcome barriers to employment and improve their financial situation and prepare youth for future self-sufficiency.

Hope through Housing works to utilize affordable housing as a powerful platform for life transformation, empowering residents to reach goals they never previously thought were possible. It works to remove barriers to economic success for vulnerable populations and expand access to economic opportunity in low-income communities by providing a customized mix of services to help affordable housing residents increase their economic mobility and future self-sufficiency.

Hope through Housing Foundation’s mission is to help break the cycle of generational poverty. Utilizing onsite community centers and long-standing relationships with residents living within National CORE affordable apartment communities, it is able to deliver resources and support right where residents live.
