Residential Academy
At Hope Residential Academy, our goal is not simply to provide housing. We work to create a true home for children who need residential placement and ongoing support. Through community-based, family-style homes, we provide a safe, structured environment where children can grow, learn, and build skills for greater independence.
Hope offers residential opportunities for children with varying levels of independence and medical needs through our children’s community group home academy. Our team focuses on each child’s health, safety, and daily well-being while providing the level of supervision and support that matches their individual needs and capabilities.

Community-Based Residential Placement
Hope Residential Academy offers residential placement in community-based, family-style homes. This model gives children the opportunity to live in a setting that feels more like home while also helping them build the skills they need for everyday life. Hope moved all residential services into the community because we believe this approach better prepares children to live as independently as possible and creates more opportunities for learning and growth.
Creating a Home
The goal of our residential services is to create a home where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Life at Hope Residential Academy goes beyond meeting basic needs. Children are immersed in experiences that promote fun, continued learning, and personal growth. Our residential program is designed to support the whole child while helping each young person build confidence, routines, and important life skills.
Therapeutic Recreation Program
Our Therapeutic Recreation Program gives youth the opportunity to take part in structured activities that enhance daily living and build independence. These activities may include after-school, evening, and weekend programs such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, cheerleading, Special Olympics, arts and crafts, dancing, school events, summer camp, and community outings. Youth may also participate in field trips such as going to the movies, bowling, shopping, and dining out.
These experiences do more than fill time. They help children practice social skills, build confidence, increase independence, and improve overall quality of life.
