In 1977, Father Paul Sheridan, SJ, envisioned a program combining a quality education and a nurturing home environment to benefit children-in-need. His idea was to maximize the long-term results of the program by providing stability, fostering personal responsibility and optimizing each child's ability to fulfill his/her potential. 

The first Boys Hope Girls Hope home opened in St. Louis in 1978-a two-family flat adjacent to St. Louis University High (SLUH) which was leased to the program for $1 a year.

Boys Hope Girls Hope of Baltimore is a new program respectively. We began accepting our first scholars in 2002 and opened our home for 6 boys in May 2002 in the former convent of Our Lady of Pompei Catholic Church. In January of 2007, we completed the construction of a new home for boys. In the summer of 2010, we completed a house for girls.
