Project H.O.P.E. (Homeless Outreach Program Enrichment) provides healthcare services to the homeless population.  It began in 1993 as an outreach project, with volunteers from the Lourdes Health System handing out sandwiches and providing health care on the streets of Camden.  Under the Lourdes System, Project H.O.P.E. expanded to become a full time medical provider for the homeless located at the Bergen Lanning Health Center in Camden city.  In 2008, Project H.O.P.E. began the transition into an independent non-profit to operate its health care for the homeless program.

The mission of Project H.O.P.E. is to improve the health and well-being of homeless persons and others in need within the greater Camden, New Jersey area by providing primary, preventative and related health care services. Project H.O.P.E. currently operates a full time health center providing culturally sensitive comprehensive primary healthcare and mental health services serving patients at three locations: its main site, West Street Health Center, a satellite center at Cathedral Kitchen, a satellite site at the VOA Liberty Street and through its Mobile Health Van which takes health care, mental health and substance abuse services to the streets and points where homeless people gather in Camden. 

Project H.O.P.E. is unique in that it is:
•	The only provider of medical services specifically for the homeless in Camden County. 
•	One of five federally qualified health center homeless projects in New Jersey
