History
HOPE Inside is an initiative by Operation HOPE, a nonprofit that teaches financial literacy and acts as a private banker for the working poor, the underserved and struggling middle class. HOPE Insides offer a variety of financial empowerment programs including 700 credit score, small business development, homeownership, mortgage crisis hotline, foreclosure counseling and cyber cafes. HOPE Insides are physical locations in which Operation HOPE carries out Project 5117, which aims to strengthen the economy by focusing on empowering those who earn less than $50,000 a year. A national alliance with the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and with the ongoing support of the American Bankers Association and Protective Life supports the initiative and its leaders, Dr. Bernice King, Ambassador Andrew Young and John Hope Bryant.
Specialties
HOPE Inside Anacostia provides on-the-ground, in-person support to people looking to take back their lives by getting their finances in order. We are there every step of the way as renters become homeowners, small business dreamers become small business owners, 500 credit scorers rise to the 700s and the hope-less become the hopeful. Here at the HOPE Inside, you will receive one-on-one counseling to remove whatever challenges you face in your goal to buy a home, stave off a foreclosure, grow your small business and more. Your first step to get started with most of our programs is to attend a workshop. After the workshop you will be assigned a counselor that will guide you on the road to financial freedom. Find and RSVP for an upcoming workshop by calling or visiting our website.
