Dwelling House of Hope Zero Tolerance to Discrimination
At Dwelling House of Hope, we are deeply committed to serving a diverse, multi-racial community, grounded in the unshakeable principle of Love. We hold ourselves to the highest standard of inclusion and equality, maintaining a zero tolerance policy for any form of discrimination—whether based on race, color, religion, sex, or creed.
Our foundation is built on the enduring truth of love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-5:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." (NIV)
For years, Dwelling House of Hope has embraced these words as our guiding light. We are unwavering in our commitment to treating every person with unconditional love, respect, and dignity. Our staff, representing a rich tapestry of ethnicities and backgrounds, brings this philosophy to life every day—creating meaningful, transformative experiences for those we serve.
We do not simply speak of love—we live it. And we will continue to build a future where all are welcomed, valued, and empowered to thrive.
