Hope House NOLA
We empower women and girls by providing a safe housing space while in a supportive community of women. We offer mentorship and guidance for formerly incarcerated and directly impacted women and girls to create a life after prison. Our goal is for each sister to create an independent, successful and sustainable life for herself and her loved ones.
Louisiana has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, especially for women. With few resources available to help them secure jobs and find affordable, stable housing, many return to prison. Hope House NOLA wrap-around services are changing this.
The Numbers
Formerly incarcerated women are 35% more likely to be homeless than men.
People who have been to prison just once experience homelessness at a rate nearly 7 times higher than the general public.

Formerly incarcerated women are far more likely to be homeless than the general public. With few resources available to help them meet their basic needs, many eventually return to prison. Soledad O’Brien speaks with Topeka Sam, who founded The Ladies of Hope Ministries in order to help women re-entering community.
