About Us
Built on faith. Driven by love.
Community of Hope Inc. was founded in 2005 with one belief: every woman, no matter where she is in life, deserves another chance. Under the leadership of our Board of Directors and Executive Director Annette Eldridge, we've grown from a single home into a comprehensive recovery and community outreach organization.
Community of Hope Inc. began over 21 years ago with a single home and a conviction that every woman deserves a real chance at a new life. With the support of partners like Eversource and our community, we renovated and expanded our space to serve more women. Today we operate Hope House as a 12-bed home and run four programs across Connecticut and beyond.
