Our Impact
There is a lack of affordable housing for people with an Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability (I/DD) and older adults to live in a home of their own in the community with the support they need to succeed.
Approximately 62,800 adults in North Carolina have an intellectual and/or developmental disability and their options of where to live are limited.
HOPE NC is creating integrated affordable housing communities, resulting in a sense of belonging for EVERYONE.
