About Us

Hope's Mission

"To provide services and supports, that are requested and designed by individuals and families who experience disabilities, that result in choice, control, family preservation and community inclusion."

Who We Are

Hope Community Resources (Hope) is a non-profit organization that provides community supports throughout the State of Alaska to over 1,000 families and individuals who experience disabilities. Currently, Hope is the only agency to provide services on a state-wide basis through regional offices that are located in Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, Dillingham, Kodiak, Juneau, Seward, Barrow and the Kenai Peninsula. Based in these communities, Hope also serves the outlying areas and numerous villages surrounding each region.      

Who We Serve

The people who choose Hope supports range in age from infancy to the elderly; are of varied and diverse ethnic background; and experience mild to severe disabilities.  Each person is individual and unique in the supports they need and request.  Because of this, Hope focuses service planning on the individual and not on a standard "menu" of supports.  Each person's plan is customized to meet their specific needs and dreams.

Approximately 28% of Hope's support recipients are Alaskan Native.  This proves to be challenging with the language barriers and the vastness of the state; however, Hope has accepted this challenge through its expansion of regional offices, subsistence supports and cultural awareness.

Keeping families together in the community of their choice is a major component of Hope's mission.

Why Choose Hope?

Hope is here to assist individuals in achieving their dreams.  Hope operates under principles that reflect the highest values centered on those who choose our community supports.  These values have and will continue to be the driving force behind Hope's support system of person-centeredness and consumer control.

 

Hope believes families and individuals should have control over their lives.  By giving them choice in living environments, personalized supports, employment opportunities and other support options, they can exercise that control.  Hope promotes a concerted advocacy for the rights of people who experience a disability.
