Hip HOP

This little-known student group, which offers no-interest housing loans to Boston residents down on their luck, is creating new buzz

Smith says HOP's unique task distinguishes it from other service groups on campus.

"This is different from tutoring or working in a homeless shelter...because you're actually taking means and methods to prevent people from becoming homeless."

Program members say HOP is a very close, tight-knit community.

"The structure of the program is very tight-knit," Worf says. "There are very capable people running the show."

With less than a dozen members who often collaborate closely on difficult issues, the group has developed tight bonds.

"We're very dedicated," Lee says. "We're a tight group of friends."

But she emphasizes the work HOP does is serious.
