Ray of Hope - Creating a Green Pathway Out of Poverty

Creating a Green Pathway Out of Poverty

Nearly 100% of all renovations done by Ray of Hope, create homes that are greatly improved for our environment as well as the individual family. Repaired roofing, added insulation, replaced and sealed windows and doors are some of the ways our volunteers are contributing to a better planet as well as safer, warmer homes.

The Ray of Hope Project was mentioned in a recent, inspiring talk given by Mr. Van Jones, former Energy Advisor to President Obama.

In a clip from his talk, Mr. Jones discusses the need for community and personal involvement in changing our city and country from a "throw away" lifestyle.

The work on this house was entirely done by ex-offenders.

The project began with a house in very poor condition, but which was transformed into a warm and safe home for a very happy family.
