رسالتنا

Recognizing the dignity and beauty of every person, we pledge intelligent and practical action to overcome racism, poverty, and injustice. And to build a metropolitan community where all people may live in freedom, harmony, trust and affection. With special consideration for history, economic station, place, culture, faith, sexual orientation, gender, and race, we affirm this pledge. - يناير, 2024

تاريخنا

في عام 1968 ، حدث شيء مهم.

الأب ويليام كننغهام وإليانور جوسايتيس

While the nation was divided over civil rights, courageous people stood up for what was right. Father William Cunningham, Eleanor Josaitis and a small band of determined people started a movement. They pledged intelligent and practical action to fight racism, poverty, injustice, and Focus: HOPE was born.

Over the years, Focus: HOPE has become a trusted community anchor. Our work is built on the idea that opportunity can change everything. For over 56 years, Focus: HOPE has continued to fight racism, poverty, and injustice. Our mission today is as critical as ever. With passion, persistence, and you as a partner, we will continue the legacy of our founders. Together, we will make their work live on.
