Hope Gardens Facade Renovation Questions & Answers

Have you had a chance to see Hope Gardens, the Family Promise Montco PA housing community at 31 S. Spring Garden Street, recently? Nestled in the vibrant Ambler neighborhood, it’s undergoing an exciting transformation. Under the thoughtful leadership of the Family Promise Montco board members and staff, a meticulously crafted plan is bringing an updated facade and beautifully sculpted landscaping to life.

We’ve received many compliments on the renovation, and some questions that you might find helpful are addressed in the video above. This renovation has been made possible entirely through funds from the PHARE (Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement Fund) program. In 2022/2023, $61.5 million in PHARE funding was awarded to organizations supporting affordable housing initiatives across Pennsylvania. As a result, each family living at Hope Gardens, who all pay rent, will not see an increase in their rent to fund the renovations.

Since its groundbreaking on October 23, 1994, Hope Gardens has provided a secure home for low-income families with children for nearly three decades. We anticipate finishing the renovation this fall, enhancing the home we provide for our families at Hope Gardens.
