Description
New Hope Community is a private, not-for-profit agency founded in 1975 as a rehabilitation center for people with developmental disabilities. Established to serve as a nurturing and caring alternative to the large institutions for people with developmental disabilities that were founded to have violated the most basic human conditions and rights, New Hope Community has been from its inception, a community with the heart as well as the staff, training, programs, vision and commitment to transform its aspirations into a living and working reality.
New Hope Community dedicates itself to creating an environment where individuals learn to live as independently as possible. We believe that the empowerment of individuals to make their own decisions and choices, enhances the quality of their lives. Today, New Hope Community supports over 200 people in homes across Sullivan County, New York. They are involved in educational and recreational programs, full-time employment, and just simply living full, active, enriched lives.
