Annual Report 2016 What happens here matters.
Individuals > Communities > Systems > Dear Friend,
After 23 years at Hope Community, I retired at the end of March 2017. Shannon Smith Jones, Hope’s new executive director, is welcomed whole-heartedly by the board and staff, as she brings her talent, commitment, and experience to Hope leadership.
The change we have made together over the last 23 years is humbling—and what happens here matters. As you’ll read in the pages of this annual report, what happens here builds up individuals, strengthens communities, and challenges unfair systems.
When Char Madigan founded Hope, at the core was belief in the people of this community and others like it. This has been the foundation of all Hope’s work since. For many years, Hope has been blessed with an abundance of talent and commitment on the staff and board. And, most importantly, thousands of community members have invested individually and collectively through Hope’s work as they build the future of their community.
As Hope moves into its 40th anniversary year, which began in March 2017, I leave confident that what we have created is the right foundation for what will come. Hope is ready.
As I have said many times recently, I believe in the creative energy of Shannon and the entire staff, the board, and especially in community leadership. With the history of investment and the growing power of Hope to lead for community change, we have laid a strong foundation. And yet there is more to be done.
I am grateful to every one of you who reads this, and with you, I look forward to the future.
Peace,
Hope Community is thrilled to welcome new Executive Director Shannon Smith Jones
Shannon Smith Jones comes to Hope Community with more than 15 years of community impact experience spearheading strategies in community development and engagement. Most recently, she was the Director of Community “We moved from Engagement for Urban Homeworks, leading and developing charity to justice, the Urban Neighbor Program and community leadership strategy. Her strategies created a philosophical shift that from guests to led to more inclusive programming. She brings strong leaders, and from Results Based Facilitation skills and is also a Qualified crisis management Administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory. to focused Ms. Smith Jones has been an avid supporter of Hope community Community since she was one of the first residents at the Children’s Village Center when it opened in 2004. Early development.” on, she learned the importance of having stable housing, —Char Madigan, founder support services, and community of support for families. This experience led her to become involved in community initiatives such as the Fair Housing Advisory Committee, the Equity in Place coalition, and the Health and Safety Committee for the Promise Zone, where she served as co-chair.
Her innovative, collaborative leadership and community-building expertise will continue and enhance our strong work. We are excited to continue working with her as one of the many voices building the future of Hope Community. Building individual capacity for a strong community
Everything Hope Community does is about strengthening individual capacity while also working with community members to build a community where everyone can thrive. At the core of everything we do is a deep belief in people. People’s ideas guide our work—more than 4,000 people have participated in formal listening sessions at Hope Community over the years. We know that when people have a quality place to live, training to develop new skills, and space to do important things, the whole community benefits.

At Hope Community, we build community capacity by creating and maintaining beautiful common spaces and offering many opportunities for people to get involved. Stable, healthy homes and gathering places provide room for people to thrive in other areas of life. Cross-cultural movements need that same type of space to take root and grow. We invest in both of these important areas of community life.

Hope Community is known for our work in the Phillips Community, and our impact is growing beyond the boundaries of the neighbor- hood. We train people, build coalitions, and work with residents for systems change. That causes a ripple effect that reaches across the city, the region and beyond. As more residents work for change, our work grows deeper and more mature. Rather than responding to a crisis, we are building community power for community priorities.
