Esperanza Community Housing: Building Hope With Community |
Esperanza Community Housing Corporation (Esperanza) was founded in 1989 as a result of a four-year organizing effort by community residents. Based on the area in which those residents lived -- the Figueroa Corridor -- Esperanza's target neighborhood was established. Esperanza remains rooted in and focused on this area to this day.
Esperanza Community Housing Corporation addresses the needs of our community comprehensively through five core program areas: housing, health, economic development, education, and arts & science.
Today, Esperanza serves 80,000 individuals per year. In all of its activities, Esperanza strives to build hope with community. | | |
