For decades, Denise Huffman has been a pillar in her community, dedicating her life to caring for those who need it most. From working in assisted living to supporting adults with mental health challenges in their homes, and now serving in inpatient and outpatient hospice care—Denise has spent her entire career on the frontlines of compassion.

But her journey didn’t start with a career. It started with a struggle.

Denise knows firsthand what it means to face hard times. Growing up, her mother worked tirelessly to provide for her and her siblings, but with three children and limited resources, tough times were constant. Shelters, shared housing, and relying on the kindness of others were all a part of her childhood reality. Through it all, one thing remained clear—Denise knew that if she ever got the chance, she would be the person she wished her family had during those difficult times.

That promise to herself became a mission, and Renewing Hope Solutions was born.

Today, Denise is the ultimate cheat code when it comes to affordable housing in her city. Through Renewing Hope Solutions, she isn’t just offering places to live—she’s restoring dignity, providing stability, and creating second chances. She understands the struggles because she’s lived them, and that’s what makes her different. She doesn’t just work in this space—she is this space.

For Denise, Renewing Hope Solutions isn’t just a name—it’s a calling. A commitment to making sure no one has to feel hopeless when searching for a place to call home. Because to her, this work isn’t business—it’s personal.
