The Hope Center of Hendersonville
A Brief History

2007
After seeing a need in our community, Hope Academy was founded to provide opportunities for adults with disabilities who have ages out of school.
​
Hope Academy began as a donation funded ministry of a local church in Hendersonville, North Carolina.


2017-2019
As the program continued to grow, we began to take the necessary steps to become an independent program including becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
We also became licensed through the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, accredited through CARF International, and received our credentialing through Vaya Health.
​
These things enabled us to be able to accept Medicaid funding.


2020-
Hope Academy re-branded as The Hope Center to better represent our program.
We also purchased our own campus to better accommodate our growing program.
​
The Hope Center also added additional home and community services to better serve our members and their families.
