Typical of areas impacted by poverty, Mt Hope is negatively affected by issues such as crime, violence, lack of employment and economic development opportunities. Due to historically negative interactions, ongoing violent relationships with other neighborhoods, lack of experience and/or overall comfort, Mt Hope residents are often unwilling to travel outside of neighborhood boundaries to pursue programs and services available in the greater East Side or City of Providence as a whole. Due to MHNA's long-standing and positive relationship with the Mt Hope community, residents have come to rely upon MHNA to address their concerns and to provide programs and services to address their needs within the physical and social boundaries of the Mt Hope community. MHNA programs and services are designed and implemented to address these issues in the most effective and efficient manner possible, while serving to support the overall ongoing positive development of the Mt Hope community as a whole.
