Revenue model

1. Individual Donations: One-time and recurring donations from individuals supporting the mission of providing forever homes for profoundly disabled children and adults. Monthly giving program 'Every Kid Belongs' provides consistent support.

Core offering

Hope House provides permanent, 24/7 residential care for children and adults with profound intellectual disabilities across six family-style homes in Liberty Hill, Texas. Each resident receives individualized care including feeding, bathing, dressing, medical care, emotional support, therapy services, and meals, with the promise of lifelong support ('For As Long As It Takes'). The organization is funded primarily through individual donations, event fundraising, and partial state funding.

Product overview

Hope House operates as a single-service nonprofit organization providing comprehensive long-term residential care for children and adults with profound intellectual disabilities. The organization functions as a collection of family-style homes (currently 6 locations serving 50 residents) rather than a traditional group home model. Services are delivered through an integrated care model combining residential housing, 24/7 direct care staffing, on-site therapy services, activity programs, and nutritional support (38,000+ meals annually). Supplementary programs include volunteer engagement opportunities, donation/fundraising initiatives (HOPE-OPOLY event, Every Kid Belongs monthly giving), community education resources, and a major expansion initiative (Renewed Hope 54-acre community). The organization does not offer a technology product or software platform.
