Hope House for The Multiple Handicapped

What Hope House for The Multiple Handicapped does

Hope House for The Multiple Handicapped is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1963 and headquartered in El Monte, California, that provides residential care services for children and adults with developmental disabilities, with particular specialization in individuals with co-occurring autism, intellectual disability, and mental health needs. The organization operates 12 residential homes clustered across El Monte, Monrovia, and Baldwin Park in the San Gabriel Valley, employing 101–250 staff and having served more than 1,000 individuals over its 60+ year operating history. Clinical offerings extend beyond standard residential care to include specialized programming such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for residents with emotional dysregulation, as well as respite services.

The organization's technology footprint is minimal: its public web presence is a Wix-hosted site, and no proprietary software, data platform, or technology-enabled service is disclosed. Service delivery is fundamentally human-staff driven, with direct-care staff supported by leadership under Executive Director David Bernstein and a board that includes retired Disney executive Mark Handler.

Revenue is generated through a mix of philanthropic contributions and likely fee-for-service residential care. Fundraising channels include individual donations, corporate sponsorships (e.g., the Kahn Family, La Tourette), annual community events such as the "Tacobout Hope" fundraiser, workplace giving via the Benevity Causes Portal, and planned giving through the Legacy Society. The organization does not publish detailed financials, and specific program-fee pricing, government contract mix (e.g., Regional Center vendorization), and donor concentration are not publicly disclosed.
