Executive Summary

Hope House aims to empower at-risk teen moms to achieve both economic and personal self-sufficiency. Hope House was established in 2003 by two teen moms and for 20 years, our goal has been to help break the cycle of poverty for two generations.

Each year Hope House has opened its doors and hearts to more and more teen moms and their children. Since our beginnings, we have helped over 900 teen moms between the ages of 15 and 25 on their path to self-sufficiency. Throughout the 20-year history of Hope House, we have helped over 280 teen moms get their GED or high school equivalency; and over 100 teen moms have gone through our Residential Program. Hundreds of teen moms have grown in their self-sufficiency, learned to be healthy parents, set goals that propelled them towards vibrant futures, and made decisions that have transformed both their lives and their children's lives.

We are actively helping Hope House teen moms navigate barriers like transportation needs, housing and child care. We strive to give teen moms in our state a voice to advocate for themselves. We have worked closely with partners like the Colorado Teen Parent Collaborative to elevate the needs of teen parents across the state by taking our teen moms to the Capitol to advocate for legislation that removes barriers for teen parents, and elevating teen moms to levels of leadership, both at the Teen Parent Collaborative and at Hope House.
