Home of Hope Community Supports enable people with disabilities to have the opportunity to live in their own home or in their family’s home. Support services are tailored to the individual’s abilities and needs and may range from a few hours to 24 hours a day.

 

Staff members are trained to work with individuals with varying degrees of need from mild to profound developmental disabilities, those with dual diagnosis, and those who are medically fragile.

 

Staff provides support and training to individuals in many different areas such as cooking, cleaning, money management, self-care, laundry and recreation. Transportation is also provided to individuals to take care of all their needs including work and recreation.

To receive Home of Hope community supports, individuals must qualify for one of the following state funding sources:

  • Supported living: Individuals who live in their own home and are members of the Hissom Class Action Lawsuit (commonly referred to as “Class Members”).

  • Community Living: Individuals who live in their own home and are not Class Members, but have been approved by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services for waiver programs.

  • In-Home HTS: Provides minimal staff to families who support an adult or child living in the family home, in situations where that adult or child qualifies for In-Home Waiver Supports.
