OUR MISSION
Our mission is to offer hope to our neighbors who are committed to improving their lives by connecting them to Christ, affordable housing, and a community of caring people.
Reconstructing the present. Reimagining the future.
TransAct Hope is a faith-based program offering hope to community members, helping them to connect with local resources and churches to develop a healthier lifestyle and a relationship with Christ.
TransAct Hope is about supporting (but not enabling) people as they make life-changing progress. We offer hope and fellowship by introducing them to a healthy network of friends, community resources and local churches. TransAct Hope helps with nutrition and cooking education, financial management education, RentReady, and Jobs for Life classes.
TransAct Hope partners with community members, allowing them to overcome barriers hindering their growth and work toward a Christ-centered transformation.
TransAct Hope encourages people and gives them resources to know, love, and serve God by living their lives according to His will. We strive to teach life, problem solving, and critical thinking skills so participants can acquire health tools and resource for navigating life's difficulties on their own.
Participants receive:
An opportunity to know Christ
Participants are encouraged to join Bible studies and take relevant courses at local churches, such as Jobs for Life and Faith & Finances.
A personalized care team
Participants are paired with a support partner who helps identify goals and strengths. Together, they choose a team of people who meet regularly to support and hold the participant accountable.
