OASIS OF HOPE
Community Development Corporation
A Place Where “Home” Becomes A Reality
Oasis of Hope is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization established in 2009 under the leadership of Jacqueline Reed-Stills and a Board of Directors comprised of individuals throughout the Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami Dade counties. We believe that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance therefore our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, we've built a long-lasting bond with our customers, our partners, and the community.
The meaning of life is to find your gift.
The purpose of life is to give it away.
We began with a vision to unlock the potential to pursue the dream of homeownership. We aim to attract quality partners for our homeowners, build quality homes in the communities we serve, and find quality residents that will add value to the neighborhood. We have assisted families of the communities through family-oriented programs such as increased owner-occupied homeownership and youth-based programs in blighted areas of Broward and Miami Dade Counties for many years. Recently, we expanded our reach to help young adults transition into independent living by providing affordable housing and a place of their own.
"Our mission is to provide basic community housing services to low- and moderate-income individuals and families; and to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing through housing rehabilitation, new construction development, and developing partnerships in the communities of South Florida."
- Founder, Jacqueline Reed-Stills
