New Hope Housing is a Northern Virginia-based nonprofit working to end homelessness. 

  • The organization has become well known for "Over the Edge," its unique yearly fundraiser where volunteers have the chance to rappel down a 14-story building (pictured above), with the goal of helping the homeless. 

😱 For the generous and daring... This year's event was held on May 6th and raised an impressive $127,496. 

  • "Some of our clients are facing serious challenges," said Director William Gorman. "When you get together and see so many different people coming together to serve them, it's really edifying."
