Premise
413 Hope St. was named for the address of a New York City crisis center. Its founder, a successful corporate executive named Phil Thomas (Roundtree), started the center in the building at the site where his teenage son was gunned down after refusing to relinquish his sneakers to a street thug.[1]
The topics addressed by the series included drug addiction and recovery, HIV and AIDS, foster care, re-integration into society after incarceration, and homelessness.[2]
Broadcast
413 Hope St. premiered on Thursdays on Fox, starting on September 11, 1997.[2] The series was temporarily taken off the schedule from October 30 through November 7.[3] The series was cancelled due to low ratings after 10 episodes, with its final broadcast airing on New Year's Day 1998.[4]
