Project HOPE is a program operated by the Community Action Council of Portage County designed to provide emergency home repairs to low-income homeowners in Portage County and Trumbull County.
The program is funded by the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA), Office of Community Development. The primary goal of HOPE is to prevent eviction or homelessness due to the inability to make repairs required by mobile home park managers, park owners, local Health Departments and Building Departments.
