H.O.O.D. Hope's founding metro and organizational headquarters — where the Sustainable Wellness Housing Program was born and where the model is being proven alongside St. Louis.
The proof-of-concept flagship for the Sustainable Wellness Housing Program, implemented with local partner Vision for Children at Risk.
A future target metro as H.O.O.D. Hope's licensing model scales toward 150+ metros nationally.
The next stop on the roadmap: testing the portability of the licensing framework and operational guardrails outside the flagship market.
