Disability? Diagnosis? Doesn’t matter. We are all equally human, and we all deserve to live in a world where we can thrive. WHAT WE DO: We are a Michigan-based non-profit that provides life-changing services that bridge care gaps for 30,000+ people all across our state, every year. With 125+ statewide locations and 2000+ employees, we offer health care like neuro rehabilitation, autism therapy, and mental health support, alongside essential social services like transportation, education assistance, work skills training, affordable housing, and more—so that everyone throughout our communities can achieve their highest level of independence. Not everyone is willing to do this work. But we are. Because we were born from a belief that no human is more valuable than the next. Disability? Diagnosis? Doesn’t matter. We are all equally human, and we all deserve to live in a world where we can thrive. WHY IT MATTERS: Over 70 million people in the U.S. suffer from disabilities or disadvantages that impact their quality of life. Over two million of them live in Michigan. That’s more than 3x the population of Detroit. We’re here to break down barriers, because health, independence, and self-belief shouldn’t be privileges—they should be the standard. And we won’t stop until they are. hopenetwork.org | 800.695.7273
