Hope Village

What Hope Village does

Hope Village is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization operating residential homes and a day program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities on an 18-acre campus at 15403 Hope Village Road in Friendswood, Texas (Houston metropolitan area). Founded in 1967 by Bill and Lucille Williams for their daughter Sally, the organization opened its first residential home in 1970 with six residents and has since grown to serve approximately 65 adults across five on-campus homes. The Foundation for Hope Village (EIN 74-6087577), a Texas-incorporated nonprofit, governs operations and is overseen by an Executive Director (Sharon Proulx) and a Board of Directors.

The organization's core offerings include 24-hour residential care across five homes, a 14,000 sq ft Developmental Center providing a U.S. Department of Labor-licensed work program (ceramics manufacturing, computer lab, gift shop, Village Café), and a 21,000 sq ft Education & Community Building opened in March 2016 that houses small group learning communities, a sensory room, chapel, and event ballroom. Ancillary services include respite care, recreation and fitness programming (pool, walking track, recreation center), and an on-site Resale Shop selling donated goods. The organization is licensed as an assisted living facility under the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Long-term Care Regulation.

Hope Village is funded through a mix of resident tuition (averaging $16,000 per resident annually), private donations and foundation grants, endowment income, fundraising events (Fish Fry, Style Show, Hope Lounge, Christmas Program), legacy giving via the Village of Hope Society (10 tiers from $250/year to $1M+ lifetime), Hearts of Hope family memberships, and Resale Shop proceeds (approximately 7% of the $1.9M annual operating budget). Notably, the organization does not receive federal or state funding, relying instead on private philanthropy to subsidize an average $18,000-per-resident annual gap between tuition and the true $34,800 cost of care. Distribution is single-site and direct: all services are delivered on the Friendswood campus, supported by an online donations portal (DonorPerfect) and passive donation channels including Kroger Community Rewards and Amazon Smile.
