Creating Pathways to Housing, Stability, and Community Strength
Together, we’ll build Columbia’s first Hope House.
Transitional Housing for Mothers, Children, and Veterans in Columbia, SC
Hope Houses are transitional housing homes that provide safe, stable housing for mothers, veterans, and children experiencing homelessness or escaping violence in the Columbia, South Carolina community. One safe address changes everything: kids stay in the same school and actually graduate, moms rebuild without chaos, and healing finally begins.
Each Hope House offers dignity, security, and a place to heal. Rally Point Housing Foundation is a Columbia, SC-based nonprofit that provides housing stability programs, supportive services, and pathways to long-term independence.
WHAT IS A HOPE HOUSE?
It’s more than housing. It’s a fresh start.
We believe a single crisis shouldn’t cost a family everything.
Single mothers fleeing domestic violence and veterans are turned away from overcrowded shelters. Their children face changing schools, falling behind, and carrying trauma that lasts a lifetime.
That’s why Columbia, SC, residents Valerie Thompson and Christina Metts created Rally Point Housing Foundation.
Rally Point Housing Foundation builds Hope Houses that give moms, kids, and veterans the one thing they need most: a safe, stable address. Because when home is no longer a question mark, healing, learning, working, and thriving finally become possible. It’s about making sure no child grows up thinking instability is normal, and no veteran who served our country is forgotten.
