People of Hope, Inc. is a grassroots nonprofit formed by 43 low-income, multicultural, working families in Athens, Georgia organized to fight against housing injustice. Our strategy is to empower our families to spread the word about manufactured housing tenants' rights state wide. In this process our families have obtained and will keep developing leadership and other management skills, while at the same time working on our own solution towards a more equitable society by building the first permanently affordable, resident-controlled manufactured housing community in Georgia.
