How did GRGD 2024 impact your mission and what it meant for your organization?
Dream with us! If funds were unlimited what would you do?

If funding were limitless, we would build the HOAP Community—a groundbreaking initiative featuring a campus of affordable housing tailored for young mothers. This would include transportation, childcare, an educational resource hub, a garden, a fellowship building, and a safe community for children. On-site early learning, job training, and employment opportunities with HOAP would empower families. Additionally, a community center for youth would offer tutoring, mentoring, a gym, and a skill-tech center, creating a holistic environment for growth, support, and opportunity.
