Organizational Overview

Build Hope, Inc. (BHI), originally established as Kids Progress Inc. (KPI) in 2002 by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA), operates as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It was created to ensure low-income residents living in HACLA’s properties or receiving Section 8 assistance receive the full social, health, educational, and work opportunities to which they are entitled. BHI’s mission is to advance economic equity and overall well-being of HACLA’s communities.

Since its inception, HACLA has provided in-kind staffing to manage BHI’s operations. Recognizing the need for greater impact and sustainable growth, HACLA has invested in expanding BHI’s organizational capacity, enabling the nonprofit to build its own dedicated team. This strategic investment empowers BHI to expand its reach and deepen its impact within the communities it serves, focusing on four key areas: education, economic mobility, resource resiliency, and service-enriched communities.
