The Hillsborough House of Hope provides temporary shelter and support to women transitioning from incarceration, substance abuse, or domestic violence to productive, self-sustaining community life while unifying with their children and families.
Since 1998, Hillsborough House of Hope has been committed to providing a support system for women transitioning out of correctional institutions and seeking positive reinforcement to aid their personal, social, and professional rehabilitation.
For years, Margaret Palmer was a volunteer counselor for women serving time in Hillsborough County Correctional Facilities. Over the course of her efforts, she witnessed many women make significant progress in their lives while incarcerated but then face hardship and struggle after their release.
