Project Hope Alliance   

Project Hope Alliance was formed in 1989, as Project HOPE (Homeless Outreach Program in Education) to provide after-school tutoring for children facing homelessness and a lack of transportation. In 2013, an established trial lawyer and partner in her firm, Jennifer Friend, accepted the position of Chief Executive Officer of PHA. Under her leadership, PHA expanded its reach from serving 65 children at one school annually to serving over 400 children annually. Our methodology utilizes a place-based model, providing a range of services directly on school campuses in order to meet the children where they are and permanently disrupt the cycle of homelessness.
