Homes of Hope Impact Report

Our Mission

Homes of Hope opens doors for economic mobility through housing, economic and workforce development.

Our Vision

To provide opportunities for generational change throughout South Carolina.

A Message f rom the CEO

“Never before.” I can confidently say we have experienced changes and challenges this past year like “never before.”

• Never before has the demand for our mission’s work been higher.

• Never before have the costs of our mission’s work been higher.

• Never before have the opportunities to execute our mission’s work been higher.

Recently, we opened our website for housing applications. Within 30 minutes, it crashed, as the demand volume was overwhelming. Even though we were soon back online, we still had to shut down after the first day, because the number of applications far exceeded our ability to produce. And we produce more affordable single-family housing than anyone in the state!

Unprecedented times call for innovation and courage. That is our battle cry. We will NOT allow these times, and the barriers that come with them, to make us faint of heart. We are charging forward, linking arms with YOU, our supporters and friends.

As we enter our 25th year, we will strive for a different phrase going forward—“ever before.” This year, we will:

• Build more affordable houses than ever before.

• Expand our Men’s Workforce Development program to a higher level of excellence than ever before.

• Connect more clients to economic mobility opportunities than ever before.

Having developed 676 homes to date as of this writing, we currently have 202 more in the building queue over the next 18 months, and are working on over 250 more for future development. Having graduated 326 men from our Workforce Development Program, we are expanding the program by 50 percent in order to serve more.

Having invested $99,409,079 into communities across the state, we are pursuing more investment and the resulting connection to resources for those we serve.

Please enjoy reading about our work, our core principles and values, our strategies, and more importantly, the stories of those impacted. This report is our brief attempt to show that through this work, generational change is not only possible, it’s happening right in our backyards, and we want you to be a part of it. Will you join us in linking arms together in this mission and work?

Affordable Housing

Our Housing Philosophy

MARKET QUALITY: Affordable, energy-efficient homes should be indistinguishable from other market-rate homes.

MIXED-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS: Developing communities that reflect a diversity of incomes, deconcentrates poverty and strengthens neighborhoods for everyone.

NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT: We focus on neighborhood strengths, not weaknesses. By working with neighborhood associations and listening first, we help revitalize neighborhoods by implementing their vision.

ECONOMIC MOBILITY: Connect housing clients to economic mobility opportunities with a focus on budgeting, banking and building assets.

How We Do It

HOUSING FIRST: Affordable and energy-efficient rental housing allows households time to breathe as they pursue economic mobility.

CLIENT RESOURCES: Understanding and valuing the needs, assets and goals of housing clients and connecting them to resources in their communities.

THE HOMEOWNERSHIP GAP: Some households earn above the income requirements for other housing programs, but still can't afford the market. We can fill that gap.

PERMANENT HOUSING SOLUTION: Households transitioning from homeless service programs need a permanent housing solution.

LoCAL HOUSING: Households earning approximately $1,200/month have very few options in the housing market. LoCAL Housing offers an affordable option.

Innovation in Housing

Strategic Partnerships

• We sometimes partner with for-profit developers, which allows us to obtain more land for affordable housing in mixed-income communities.

• Through the social impact investing model, we develop mutually beneficial partnerships that allow us to produce affordable housing without relying solely on government funding.

• LoCAL Housing provides a unique opportunity for businesses, individuals and faith-based organizations to directly invest in the lives of households experiencing poverty and men overcoming addiction.

Leveraging Resources

• Establishing an equity fund has expanded our resources and opportunities.

• Leveraging faith-based funding from the community has more than doubled our production of affordable homes for individuals and families moving out of homelessness.

• Utilizing income from housing market forces to create greater affordability in our rental homes.

Mixed-Income Neighborhoods

• We intentionally ensure a diversity of incomes are represented among neighbors. This creates a healthy balance of community.

• When imbalance is present, we sometimes build market rate homes alongside more affordable homes.

• Our goal is the deconcentration of poverty and housing segregation by socioeconomic status.

LoCAL Housing is the vehicle through which we are able to offer construction job training to the men in our Men's Workforce Development program. By constructing these homes, they gain valuable on-the-job experience in green building practices for residential construction while giving back to their community.

LoCAL Housing

Our LoCAL Housing program

is a revolutionary way to serve households earning approximately $1,200/month.

By building homes that are long-term, compact, affordable and LEED-standard, we are able to offer the most vulnerable households a home that is not only high quality and energyefficient, but that also fits in their budget.

These homes are funded through contributions from the community and in the form of corporate sponsorships, grants and foundation awards. Thank

Stephanean Jones shares how changing her mindset changed her life.

Keeping the Faith in the Face of Adversity

No one can predict the hardships they may face throughout their life. Each day brings an opportunity to experience unexpected twists and turns. Many unforeseen and unpredictable factors can completely change our lives, from family trauma to sudden natural disasters. Sometimes a combination of setbacks comes one after another, giving an overwhelming feeling and making it seem impossible to catch up.

When facing setbacks with a fighting spirit, Stephanean Jones knows firsthand what it means to keep the faith - even when there is no plan. With her untamable hustle-like nature, Stephanean is a determined woman who triumphs in the face of adversity. But she hasn’t always been as confident and sure of herself.

ADJUSTING TO BEING A NEWLY SINGLE PARENT

In 2016, after thirteen years of marriage, Stephanean divorced her husband and became a single parent of two young boys. She was quickly faced with making financial decisions, running a household, and taking on the full responsibilities of raising her children while balancing work. She was determined to make ends meet and provide the best life possible for her two boys. But after a couple of years, life as a single parent became overwhelming, and the lack of finances and support caught up with her.

One evening in 2018, while inside her home, Stephanean overheard noises outside and discovered that her car was being repossessed. While

she knew the repossession of her car was imminent, the reality of losing her transportation brought new stress levels to her life. She immediately made plans with friends to arrange a ride to work the following day.

Morning came after a restless night, and a knock came from someone at her front door while she was getting her boys ready for school and herself for work. Stephanean reluctantly opened the door to be served an eviction notice. Trying to pay what she could towards rent, the landlord refused to accept any payment, and she was given a few days to vacate the apartment. With this second setback in less than 24 hours, Stephanean had to reevaluate her options and make some changes.

Through these challenges, Stephanean realized the importance her family played in her life, and the love and support of family is something no amount of money can buy. Her family rallied to help pack boxes and move Stephanean and her boys out of the apartment and in with her mother for what she hoped would be a short-term arrangement.

Although determined to make the new living situation work, Stephanean soon became depressed, losing her motivation in life. Because of her lack of determination, she was soon let go from her job.

However, living with her mother, Stephanean, and her boys made the best of the situation. She found various short-term jobs to help make ends meet and in November 2018, Stephanean completed a Home of Hope application after learning about the various housing programs offered.

A DOOR OPENS TO RENEWED HOPE

Almost a year later, Stephanean received an email from Homes of Hope stating that her application had been reviewed and housing options could become available soon. With the news of her reviewed application, Stephanean decided to make a personal visit to Homes of Hope to update her application. Since her initial application, she had become a full-time employee at the Blood Connection and wanted to share these updates with the Homes of Hope Director of Housing and Property Management. Although initially hesitant to meet face-to-face with a Homes of Hope staff member because of her past, she was pleased with how the Homes of Hope staff accepted her.

“I loved how transparent they were with me,” she said.

Shortly after her meeting, Stephanean received the news she had been selected to move into a Homes of Hope home. She and her boys were absolutely ecstatic. For the first time in many years, Stephanean felt her family’s life was turning around for the better, offering newfound independence and confidence. “It’s a home to be comfortable in and we could be a family, “ she said.

BUILDING BLOCKS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL FUTURE

Once settled into her new home, Stephanean took advantage of financial coaching through our client resource department. The six-week Adulting 101 course helped her understand budgeting and build better financial habits. She learned the importance of prioritizing needs over wants and

how quickly people can get into financial trouble if budgets aren’t followed monthly for long-term success. Reflecting on the skills she’s learned, Stephanean said, “Rather than being too worried about where you need to end up, it’s important to be able to take stock of what’s going on now. Attack things in segments, building up to the overall end goal of financial stability.”

A PROGRAM TO LEAN ON

In March 2022, Stephanean suffered a heart attack just three months into a new job. Her heart attack left her more financially insecure than she had been in a long time. Still, she credits the Homes of Hope staff and programs with giving her the tools she needed to maintain a positive attitude. Today, Stephanean continues to improve her health and life daily through the support and life skills she learned from the Homes of Hope programs.

The affordable housing offered by Homes of Hope isn’t just about having a house; our homes allow families to have better access to education and career opportunities. Having a home provides peace and security. It builds confidence, selfreliance, and a positive mindset to sustain success and build long-term growth. Affordable housing gives a sense of belonging and makes our community better.

At Homes of Hope we offer services to help housing clients pursue financial wellness and curate tools and resources that can be life changing. Stephanean is an inspiring example of someone that has overcome multiple challenges and hardships in her life. She says, “I don’t know where I would be if not for Homes of Hope. This organization has helped me keep my finances together and afford this lovely home. I’m so grateful.”

I don’t know where I would be if not for Homes of Hope.

Men's Workforce Development

In our one-year residential program for men overcoming addiction,

we provide specialized job training, Christian discipleship, mentoring, life skills and connection to resources for economic mobility.

Our program is transformational in the men's lives. It results in graduates who have not only gained skills on the job, but who have also learned soft skills that they can use in all aspects of their lives as they transition from being a drain on the community to being a contributing member of our society. When our graduates enter the workforce, they are set on a career path that includes above-living wages and opportunities for advancements.

Turning Trauma intoTriumph with

Eric Archibald

As with many of our participants, Eric’s path to Homes of Hope was a journey of trauma, grief, and life setbacks. However, once given the blessing of a second chance, Eric eventually took his trauma and turned it into a successful and sustainable life victory.

EARLY LIFE AND UNEXPECTED EVENTS

Eric describes his early childhood as fairly typical, being a happy child of two loving parents without a care in the world. However, his young and carefree life unexpectedly turned when his father fell ill with cancer. After watching him battle illness for some time, Eric’s father passed away in the family home when Eric was only ten years old.

Grief affects all of us differently and can profoundly affect young children when a parent dies. Eric’s family struggled to maintain a sense of normalcy. He witnessed his family slowly falling apart as his loved ones turned to alcohol and other substances to cope with their emotional turmoil. At 17, he moved out of his family home, hoping to forge a more positive path and a life of purpose and hope.

To those on the outside, it might seem like Eric got out of a dire situation just in time and made great strides in establishing himself in business and as an individual. However, things aren’t always as they appear. Eric admits to using substances for nearly fifteen years to help cope with his grief and emotional struggles.

THINGS AREN’T ALWAYS AS THEY SEEM

Despite using various substances over time, Eric managed to function quite well and appeared to be living a successful life. While living in Mississippi, he owned his own electrical company, owned a rental home, and made payments on an additional property, but he was abusing different substances regularly.

Eric explains the fragility it is for people to be in active addiction while keeping up appearances and living in a state of denial. “They think they’re okay because they make good money, they pay their bills,” he said, “To them, they’re making it by their own power, pulling up their bootstraps, they’re fine.”

Appearances can be deceiving. While everything in Eric’s life appeared to be thriving, he was struggling with his life. “You don’t realize you’re hanging on by a thread,” he said, “and when that thread snaps, you can literally go from a homeowner, owning a successful business, to being homeless in six months. I know because I lived it.”

A PATH OF STRUGGLE LEADS TO UNFORESEEN BLESSINGS

Life and circumstances moved Eric from Mississippi to South Carolina, where he fell into a more profound emotional spiral that led to the use of harder drugs. This out-of-control downward spiral soon made Eric turn to a lifestyle of crime to support his drug habit. For about three years, Eric

struggled between being homeless and spending time in jail while navigating his addiction.

In 2019, at a court appearance, Eric was expecting to be sent to prison for three years for a crime he committed. Standing before the judge, he received a life-changing opportunity. The judge offered Eric a chance to complete a rehabilitation program instead of serving time in prison. Eric gladly accepted the rehabilitation program over prison and saw a glimmer of getting his life back on track after so many years of struggling.

However, that hope quickly turned into frustration and despair. While the judge had proposed rehabilitation for Eric, the timing of the COVID-19 pandemic made it challenging to find a program with any openings. Mental health and substance

You don’t realize you’re hanging on by a thread.

abuse centers were overflowing with capacity during the pandemic. After searching for two months, Eric’s sister finally found a rehabilitation program with available space. But Eric had an issue with the recommended rehab center - it was very Christian-oriented, and Eric had never considered himself to be very spiritual. However, Eric decided that the Christian-based rehabilitation center would be much better than prison - so he was admitted.

After a month at the rehab center, Eric accepted the Lord and began changing his life. “God really lit a fire for me,” he said, “Just a fire deep in my soul where I wanted to serve him. I started to see God in everything.” After seven months in rehab, Eric met the Homes of Hope team for the first time during one of their regular visits to Miracle Hill’s Overcomers Center. “They were just filled with this joy. You can see it every time they come over,” he says. Eric was determined to be part of the Homes of Hope team and sought out how he could get involved with their mission and serve others. “I had the work skills, but I wanted them to show me what it took to lead a Godly life.”

Today, Eric views his entire life experiences as God’s way of forging a path for him to be saved and become an integral team member at Homes of Hope.

WHAT HOMES OF HOPE PROVIDED FOR ERIC

One of the essential takeaways from Homes of Hope is an empowered sense of structure and faith, which happened to be two of the most significant aspects missing from Eric’s life. As he reflects on losing his father at the early age of 10, Eric says, “One of the biggest things Homes of Hope did for me was they placed spiritual fathers in my life. Nate, Steve, and Bob taught me countless lessons in patience and accountability.”

God works in mysterious and unexpected ways. We often don’t know why something is happening in our lives until we look back and realize God’s plan.

Eric knows that God placed the opportunity to choose rehab over prison, which led him to be part of Homes of Hope in his life. He knows that without Homes of Hope, his life would be unfulfilled, with no purpose, and on a path of self-destruction. He knows he is the man he is today only through the grace of God and the home he’s found in Homes of Hope. Eric says, “I’m completely different in every way than I was before, in every aspect of my life.”

As part of Eric’s Homes of Hope apprenticeship, he enrolled in a 10-week Journeyman exam prep course at Greenville Tech. He passed the Master Electrician Exam on his first try. He is currently registered in college-level construction engineering courses with plans to earn his residential builders and general contractor’s licenses.

Today, Eric is the Men’s Workforce Development Project Foreman and a graduate of the Homes of Hope Men’s Workforce Development program. While it’s rare that our organization hires program graduates, Eric’s passion and drive made him a clear candidate for the role.

Because of his commitment and the faithfulness of our generous donors, Eric is equipped with professional career skills and is giving back to Homes of Hope - the organization that enriched and forever changed his life.

The Opportunity Center

CHARLESTON, SC

The Opportunity Center is 33,000 square feet,

located in one of the highest traffic areas of South Carolina, and home to over 15 businesses plus the training programs mentioned below. The Opportunity Center also has an 80-seat training room for larger trainings, and numerous smaller conference room spaces for outside organizations to lease for their own trainings and events.

Homes of Hope’s development of The Opportunity Center focused on several goals:

1. Investing the building ownership into three area minority led Non-Profit organizations already doing great work over decades, connecting them to opportunity for asset growth (via ownership) within their own organizations and increased cash-flow for increased capacity

2. Offering collaborative opportunity through shared spaces to these three non-profits, as well as numerous others from the area, adding to their collective impact, and also offering meeting space to area non-profits for trainings and events

3. Offering business training for minority led businesses in the area through:

• Small Business Success Center—targeting minority-led small businesses

• Women’s Business Center—targeting women-owned small businesses

We believe that this investment will lead to economic mobility for countless individuals, businesses, and, of course, these three co-owner non-profits.

WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO FIRST GIVE TO HOMES OF HOPE?

We were motivated because of Homes of Hope's effort to work with men with opioid issues. It was in honor of our late son, Brett Airey, who died at age 36 of a fentanyl/heroin overdose in 2016. We tried for many years to help him overcome addiction, and we felt it failed.

OVER THE YEARS, YOU’VE BEEN A FAITHFUL SUPPORTER. WHY HAVE YOU CONTINUED

TO GIVE TO HOMES OF HOPE?

We wanted to be part of Homes of Hope because of our passion to help people turn their lives around. We pray that our donations and involvement will enable others to live this life free of addiction and with the joy that Christ can provide.

A Special Thank You to the Airey Family!
