The Home Ownership Participation for Everyone (HOPE) Awards is a national industry awards program that was created in 2001. The awards recognize individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to increasing and sustaining minority homeownership, revitalizing communities and expanding affordable housing opportunities.

The HOPE Awards is sponsored by a partnership of real estate associations; awards are conferred every other year.

Winners receive $10,000 and paid travel expenses to the HOPE Awards.

In the decade since the first HOPE Awards were given out, $300,000 has been given to 30 winning individuals and organizations, helping thousands more minority families become homeowners.
