Presidential hopeful, John Kasich talks with Kim Wallance, Executive Director of the House of Hope in Cedar Rapids after watching a video to learn about the goals and values of the house on Wednesday, September 30, 2015. The Ohio Governor visited the house to ask questions and learn about the program to understand the issues they face and what help they need. The house provides a community for women seeking help through classes, or temporary housing away from issues at home while focusing on building relationships with one another as well as faith in God.
