The Home Possible Project

10/08/2026

We are excited to share that The Home Possible Project is now working with Karmen Gifford, owner of The Small Business Side to help grow our business & community engagement.

Karmen grew up in Gilford Village. Gilford NH is her home town. She's a parent. She previously led the Lakes Region Chamber for over 15 years. She knows our local and our state business community. Do you know Karmen?

Her immediate focus as she steps into our journey? Helping complete the sale of available NH business tax credits to fund the next stage of growth. The balance is $65k. If your NH business is looking to direct its state tax liability toward a high-impact, transformative community project, Karmen would love to connect! Drop us a message.

Beyond tax credits, the goal is to spread the word about this project and help share the story. Karmen is excited to tell everyone the story of a road named Hope!

Families of adults with developmental disabilities should never have to wonder whether their loved ones are being abused or neglected.
HPP was founded by families to create safe, caring, person-centered homes and support services where adults with developmental disabilities can live safely with dignity, independence, and meaningful community involvement.
Our vision includes highly qualified and carefully screened support staff, strong training, clear checks and balances, and appropriate oversight, because the safety and well-being of the people we serve must always come first.
This article from the New Hampshire Bulletin is an important reminder of why this work matters and why we must continue working toward better options for individuals and families across New Hampshire.
This is why HPP exists. This is why we keep moving forward.

At least three people were sexually abused and at least two physically abused in New Hampshire’s state-run disability care system in the first half of 2026. During that time, 30 people died within the system. At least one of those people choked to death, several died of cancer or other nonsuspicio...

We are incredibly grateful to be featured in this week’s Gilford Steamer Front Page and on Page 4, the Gilford Steamer editorial, “A Home Is More Than Four Walls,” shares a powerful message about why this project matters — and offers a heartfelt call for our community to come together and help make it happen.
We couldn't agree more: this is something we can build together.
Thank you to the Gilford Steamer, the Laconia-Gilford Lions Club, the First United Methodist Church of Gilford-Laconia, and everyone who continues to believe in HPP and the future we are working to create.
Please take a few minutes to read both pieces. We hope they inspire others to join us in making Home Possible. Check out both pieces here!

A Road Named Hope
We are so excited to share a very special milestone! The Town of Gilford has officially designated and named the new road leading to HPP’s future community residence "Hope Way". Our future address will be:
25 Hope Way, Gilford, NH 03249
We could not imagine a more meaningful name.
Hope Way is located on the 6.8 acres of land so generously donated by the First United Methodist Church of Gilford-Laconia, whose own designation as Hope Ministries makes this name especially significant to all of us at HPP. Their incredible generosity helped make our vision possible, and now their spirit of hope will forever be part of the address of our future home.
And this road truly represents hope.
Hope for the eight adults with developmental disabilities who will soon have the opportunity to call this community home.
Hope for their families, who dream of a safe, accessible, supportive place where their loved ones can live with greater independence, dignity, security, and belonging.
And hope for the future.
Because Hope Way will eventually lead not only to our first community residence, but also to a planned Phase II residence, located a short distance away on the same road, providing another eight individuals with the opportunity to experience a home and community designed around their needs and aspirations.
What began with a vision, a generous gift of land, and a community willing to believe in what is possible is continuing to become something very real.
25 Hope Way.
It is more than an address.
It is a promise of hope, home, independence, and belonging.

A Wonderful Gift from the Laconia-Gilford Lions Club
A big thank you to the Laconia-Gilford Lions Club for their generous $1,500 donation to The Home Possible Project (HPP)!
HPP Board members, supporters, and several prospective future residents were honored to join Lions Club President Matt Sousa for the presentation of the check at HPP’s property at the First United Methodist Church of Gilford-Laconia.
The Laconia-Gilford Lions Club is an official affiliate of Lions Clubs International, the oldest service organization in the world. All monies raised through their endeavors are used to serve and strengthen the local community—and we are incredibly grateful that HPP is among the organizations they have chosen to support.
On this site, HPP is working to build an it’s flagship Phase I eight-apartment, accessible community residence for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, creating a safe, supportive place where future residents can live with greater independence, dignity, and opportunity.
This generous contribution helps bring that vision one step closer to becoming a reality. We are especially grateful for the Lions Club's commitment to our community and to the future residents of HPP.
Thank you, Laconia-Gilford Lions Club, for helping make Home Possible!

This marks the second consecutive year that MVSB has invested in helping make our vision a reality, and we couldn't be more thankful.
