Housing Asylum Seekers

Helping immigrants succeed

Celebration Home was a great success!

Our silent auction still live. Bidding ends at 9PM on 7/27, and all proceeds from the silent auction go towards Hope Acts’ homelessness prevention and housing stabilization work.

Check out the awesome items and bid before it's too late!

Hope Acts offers asylum seekers access to housing and basic needs, assistance in navigating complex immigration processes, and resources for learning English to help them successfully transition to a new life in Maine.

Hope Acts' work is rooted in our strong belief that asylum seekers and immigrants deserve an opportunity to thrive in the U.S. Hope House - our apartment building in downtown Portland, ME - is both a home for asylum seekers and a space for individualized support.
