About HOPE COMMUNITY INC

Hope Community is a long‑standing Minneapolis nonprofit (founded in 1977) that works at the intersection of community organizing, leadership development, and affordable housing. The organization operates programs in community engagement, youth learning and leadership (including a Best Buy Teen Tech Center), food and land access, parks and green space equity, and housing development and stewardship. Hope centers resident leadership and anti‑displacement strategies — combining direct services (gardens, youth internships, food distribution) with asset-building work such as developing and managing affordable rental housing and community spaces. Hope’s approach emphasizes listening, racial and economic equity, and participatory planning to sustain community power over time.
