Hannah’s Promise Inc is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness by providing affordable housing and supportive services to enable them to achieve and sustain social and financial stability. We want to provide transitional housing for homeless women and children needing help getting on their feet as well as domestic violence victims. HP Inc would like to provide services that help them secure their own permanent housing by providing job training, job search, interview preparation, mental health services, financial services, and childcare. Services are tailored to meet the needs of each individual or family and are based on their specific situations and goals.

Renata Delaney, Executive Director

As a formerly single mother of two children, Renata knows firsthand how hard life can be without resources. Because her income was a smidge over the poverty line, no help was available to her to help take care of her kids. It’s only when she lost her job did she find minimal help through programs like WIC. One month away from homelessness she had no where to turn. Instead, she sacrificed critical developmental time with her children to work multiple jobs while going back to school to earn her bachelor’s degree in accounting without financial or mental support but God.

Through her journey she learned to lean on God and let him work through her. She also vowed that when she was on her feet she will pass along the knowledge and faith she learned with other women struggling to take care of their children. Through the years and currently, Renata is very involved with the community with organizations like Girls ’Inc, The Boys and Girls club, and Minnie’s Pantry, just to name a few.
