WELCOMING YOU HOME
Since 1998, the Hillsborough House of Hope has been committed to providing a support system for women in need. We provide shelter and support to women who are homeless due to criminal records, substance abuse or domestic violence, allowing them to become productive, self-sustaining members of the community, and reunite with their children and families.
OUR HISTORY
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.
STORIES OF SUCCESS
Hillsborough House of Hope is proud to share the many stories of women that have passed through our doors. These faces represent our community purpose and we invite you to read their testimonies.

"I was an addict and alcoholic that had been raped, beaten, and left for dead. Where would I be if God had not sent an ANGEL called Margaret Palmer to rescue me? Thank you Hillsborough House of Hope for answering the call."
