Hope Florida Foundation

Formally launched in 2022, Hope Florida aims to get residents off government aid, such as food assistance or health care services, by connecting them with faith-based groups and other nonprofits. Those groups are supposed to lift recipients out of poverty through their connections and guidance. It is the DeSantises’ alternative to welfare. In 2024, staffers working for the Republican-controlled House of Representatives asserted that Hope Florida’s fundraising arm was not complying with state laws governing its oversight, ethics or fundraising.
