A New Home for a Family in Jackson, MS

In 2012, in the middle of the Great Recession, when almost nobody else was investing in affordable housing in the Mid South, HOPE invested in Holly Hills, a 60 unit low-income housing tax credit development in Jackson, Mississippi. The families who have benefitted from HOPE’s investment have included Shantae, a single mother. Shantae looked for months to find an affordable place for herself and her young son in an area with good schools. When she found Holly Hills, she not only found that, she also found a community. “I love that I found a safe place for my son to ride his bike.”
