The Jury awarded New Hope Housing and Star of Hope’s Cornerstone Community a Special Mention for its innovative, mission-driven partnership and financial model. With Cornerstone Community, two independent non-profit organizations collaborated to develop housing and social services facilities for homeless and at-risk families, aiming to break the chain of generational poverty and homelessness, and boldly tackling one of the most challenging issues of our time. The campus includes the Star of Hope Women & Family Development Center and the New Hope Housing Reed development of 187 furnished, affordable apartment homes. Star of Hope raised 95% of the funds for the Development Center from private donors, and New Hope Housing combined a variety of public and private funding sources to develop Reed.
