Let Hope Rise Foundation, through it’s supportive housing model, desires to provide each participant with a hand up, not a hand out.  The supportive housing model provides a safe place for previously homeless families in which to live, learn, play and grow.

Realizing the constant stream of need challenging the Steele Creek area of Charlotte, the Let Hope Rise Foundation was formed early in 2016 to address those needs and to foster community stability.

Let Hope Rise Foundation is a 501(c)(3) community non-profit.

We will support the mission of community stability through specific programs, with specific emphasis on housing for homeless families, benevolence, and compassionate help.

The Steele Creek community in southwest Mecklenburg County, is a diverse mix of races, cultures, and economic instability.

• 40 percent minority
• Fewer than half with high school diploma
• 96 percent of Latino households – even with multiple workers – earn under $37,000
• 66 percent more property crime than the national average
• 44 percent more personal crime than the Charlotte metro average

Steele Creek Church of Charlotte is perched prominently in the middle of this multi-cultured community. It started in 1995 as an intentionally diverse congregation and on any given Sunday persons who speak 40 different languages are among its 2,400 attendees.

As a cooperative partner, Steele Creek Church is making every square foot of its $7 million facility available as a “HopePlex” to house community programs.
