Hope Community Resources is a non-profit organization providing community supports to hundreds of individuals and families who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injury and mental health challenges. The people who choose our supports range in age from infancy to the elderly, are of diverse ethnic background, and experience a range of disabilities.
