Lowe’s has announced that Sojourner Truth Ministries, Inc- House of Hope program is one of 100 community projects to be completed this year as part of Lowe’s Hometowns, the company’s largest-ever community impact program. Launched in 2022, Lowe’s Hometowns is a five-year, $100 million commitment from Lowe’s to rebuild and revitalize community spaces nationwide.

This project grant is to complete the rehab of a duplex, which is currently planned to be offered for graduates of the House of Hope program, a 6-9 month structured Christ-based program for women leaving homelessness and dependency in a communal living environment. There has been an ongoing shortage of supportive housing in this area for people overcoming barriers, and this will be an important transitional step following graduation from the program.

This year’s Lowe’s Hometowns projects were selected from 94 communities across 41 states and Washington, D.C. They will address needs specific to each community, from housing and community centers to outdoor spaces and facilities for first responders and veterans. Each project will receive a grant from Lowe’s to make physical improvements that help local organizations continue to make a meaningful impact in their communities. At the core of this commitment are Lowe’s red vest associates, who share a passion for giving back to their communities and provide support to every Lowe’s Hometowns project.

Now in the initiative’s second year, Lowe’s Hometowns invites nonprofits and community members to share stories of projects in need. Lowe’s is partnering with Sojourner Truth Ministries, Inc., local Lowe’s associates, construction pros, and impact partner Points of Light to complete this project.
