About Hope
Over the past two decades, Ms. Hope Boldon has been a trailblazer in the field of human transformation as she has strategically led strategies that improved the lives of tens of thousands of public housing residents.
From her humble beginnings in Jamaica, Ms. Boldon started her career in macroeconomic planning and Human and Organizational Development. In her early career, she served for 15 years as a macroeconomic planner with Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Planning and Development and its industrial development corporation. Hope joined Integral Group in 1993 as a consultant to its Community Development Division, helping design and implement Integral’s first large-scale Community Development project – Centennial Place. In 1995, she provided Community Outreach and Sensitivity Training for the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport and implemented MBE Outreach Programs in preparation for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Hope was also a part of Integral’s successful implementation of comprehensive community and human revitalization programs, which was later called the “Atlanta Model” by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In 2000, she became the CEO of Integral’s Human Development Division, the Integral Youth and Family Project LLC (IYFP). As CEO, she led a team responsible for transforming the lives of over 20,000 public housing families while managing a budget of over $25 million. She consulted several Housing Authorities nationwide in staff development, program design and implementation, and community engagement. She had testified before Congress about the success of the “Atlanta Model,” which supported the framework for families receiving HUD subsidies.
In 2014, she assumed the Senior Vice President of Human Capital role at Integral Group, where she continues to serve as an expert on human and community development.
