The golf bays were full, and so are our hearts! 💝

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Swing Fore Hope last night. Our team enjoyed meeting new supporters and catching up with longtime friends, and we hope YOU enjoyed the friendly golf competition.

This event wouldn't have been possible without the support of our sponsors Centreville Bank, Washington Trust Bank, Textron Inc., Beacon Mutual, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, and Coastal1 Credit Union.

Thank you for your investment in solutions that address the growing need for safe, stable housing across Rhode Island.

Couldn't attend? We're just $2,200 away from our fundraising goal. Donate today and help us reach a $10,000 milestone.

With deep sadness, we share the passing of Christine (Foisy) Kent on August 13, 2026.

Christine was the daughter of Jean Johnson, founder of House of Hope CDC, and served as our Chief Operating Officer until 2016.

During her thirteen years at House of Hope Christine was a strong advocate for personal and professional development of House of Hope constituents through the Sewing Program and the House of Hope Boutique. Christine was known at House of Hope for her impeccable fashion, her endearing smile, and a focus on creating a family atmosphere among staff and constituents

We extend our deepest sympathy to Christine’s family and will honor her memory by carrying forward the compassion, kindness, and dedication she brought to our community.

We're proud to partner with Housing Network of Rhode Island and Our Homes Our Votes as we work to educate and register Rhode Island voters. 🗳

The right to vote is a cornerstone of our democracy, yet people with low incomes (especially those experiencing homelessness) remain among the least represented at the polls.

In a typical election year, only about 1 in 10 people experiencing homelessness cast a ballot.

This election season, we’re proud to tag along with House of Hope CDC’s Shower to Empower team as we register and educate Rhode Island voters.

🚿 Shower to Empower is a one-of-a-kind mobile service, offering basic needs such as complimentary showers and haircuts. They also offer on-site case management and medical services to those experiencing homelessness.

🗳️ Our Homes, Our Votes is a nonpartisan campaign to register, educate, and mobilize low-income renters and affordable housing advocates to vote, spearheaded by the National Low Income Housing Coalition. The Housing Network of Rhode Island has been a state partner of Our Homes, Our Votes since 2020.
