About Hope House
Hope House is an 80-bed non-profit residential treatment program for male alcoholics and substance abusers in need of help and willing to commit to recovery. Their mission is to provide effective treatment for alcoholism and substance abuse in safe, secure, community based living. Clients learn skills necessary to live a substance free life, obtain gainful employment, return to their families, and become productive members of their community. Hope House may be the first “home” these men have had in some time as they often transition from prison, homeless shelters, or the street. They recently moved to a brand new building in Roxbury that will serve as their new “home” thanks to your artwork. The donated art will hang in their common spaces, meeting rooms, and hallways to contribute to creating that feeling of home needed in such a large building.
