Celebrating Five Years of Transformative Change: H.S. Lopez Family Foundation Center of Opportunity
On June 7, the H.S. Lopez Family Foundation Center of Opportunity celebrated its fifth anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its mission to support individuals experiencing homelessness in Tucson. In partnership with the Gospel Rescue Mission, the center has achieved notable success, including serving over 700,000 meals, helping nearly 2,000 people secure permanent housing, and guiding almost 500 individuals through a year-long recovery program. The center’s holistic approach, supported by over 60 partner organizations, has made a substantial impact, transforming lives through comprehensive care that extends beyond immediate needs.
The center’s success is deeply personal for founder Humberto Lopez and his family, particularly his daughter Illiana, a program graduate now contributing to its mission. Lopez envisions the center as a national model for homelessness services, with plans to share its practices and replicate its success in other communities.
