What Is Hope CDA?
Our mission at Hope CDA is to offer hope through Jesus Christ and to build lives for men seeking a second chance. Grounded in truth and love, we provide a comprehensive one-year program where men commit to overcoming addiction, gaining life skills, and finding employment. We aim to demonstrate Christ’s love, witness transformative change, and guide men towards long-term success, empowering them to thrive in all aspects of their lives. Additionally, through our efforts in refurbishing and constructing houses in our jobs training program, we are actively improving communities and helping to address the affordable housing crisis.
Our Motto
“Offering hope. Building lives.”
Who We Serve
Men looking for a second chance in life.
