Hope Community Resources

Supporting Alaskans who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1968

Hope Community Resources, Inc. is a non-profit organization provides services and supports to individuals and families across Alaska who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, mental health challenges, and complex medical conditions. Founded in 1968 by Nancy Stuart Johnson, Hope’s mission is to provide services and supports, requested and designed by individuals and families who experience disabilities, resulting in choice, control, family preservation and community inclusion.

Nancy rejected institutionalization, exclusion, and dehumanizing treatment, and instead provided a home to children with various cognitive and physical challenges. For over five decades, Hope has supported and advocated for everyone’s right to independence, choice, security, and opportunities to live full, meaningful lives.
