About Us
changing lives one step at a time
Transcending Hope is a nonprofit organization built by people who are either in recovery or have been touched by addiction and recovery. We’ve found that those who have dealt closely with these issues understand the difficulties of starting a new life free of drugs and alcohol.
We offer safe, stable Recovery housing in Washington, Multnomah, and Clackamas Counties. Transcending Hopes team provides support to our residents, transitional programs, and community restoration program. Transcending Hope is here to help.
