What 50 Years of Hope Looks Like

5

Many injustices based on color, gender, sexual orientation and more have been eased, though work remains to be done in many instances. Most of these advances, from voting laws, hiring practices, equality and discrimination in many forms, started with the popular revolt of public opinion. The groundswell begins, groups become emboldened, media take note and, finally, laws and conventions change.

Over the span of the past fifty years, some remarkable achievements have occurred in this country regarding basic individual rights.

Over those same fifty years, advances against injustice for another group of people have, unfortunately, been far more modest. Especially in Virginia. In fact, if not for the work of Hope House Foundation, started in 1964, the plight of adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our area would look not much different than it did back when the Civil Rights Act became law. As we celebrated our fiftieth year, we continue to celebrate the changes we have brought about, the lives we have improved and the families we have helped. But, as with other injustices, much more work needs to be done. Hope House Foundation was the first organization in Virginia to offer individuals the ability to direct their own lives to the fullest extent possible by living in their own homes, right in the community, among their friends, jobs, restaurants and movie theaters. In this Biennial Report, we highlight the biggest moments, events, and individuals that have led to such significant accomplishments. Our guess is that the small group of parents seeking an alternative to institutionalization for their adult children with disabilities back in 1964 would be proud to see how far their idea has come. But we also think they would challenge us to do more, much more, until equality for individuals with disabilities is widespread and unequivocal.

1960s

The 1960s may be unlike any other decade in American history. While The Beatles and Woodstock were changing music forever, the nation was torn apart by the Vietnam War and the assassinations of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. A man walked on the moon. People fought for civil rights. The counterculture brought free love and questions about established values. The 60s were a decade of rebellion, political awareness and lost innocence. There was change afoot in Norfolk, Virginia, too. Hope House Foundation was founded in 1964 by a group of parents who wanted better than institutionalization for their adult children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Their persistence and passion resulted in the donation of a house, on Granby Street, and the region’s first group home was opened. Parents’ dreams of having their grown children live among the larger community was realized. Hope House survived on private donations and was run by parents and volunteers.

1970s

While the nation boogied to disco and supported a still-hard-to-explain fashion look (bell-bottoms and headbands, anyone?), Hope House kept at it. The number of people served continued to grow. Donations and volunteerism kept the organization moving forward until, in 1978, Hope House became incorporated and was contracted by the Norfolk Community Services Board. By this time, some supporters were stepping up in big ways. In the latter half of the decade, Paul and Ellie Lipkin of Norfolk emerged as true champions of the Hope House mission. Paul served as President of the Board and counseled for more than 10 years, while Ellie tirelessly promoted education and awareness about the Hope House way. From 1978 through 1995, it is estimated that more than 90% of donations made to the organization could be traced directly to the Lipkins.

1980s

Nationally, the advent of MTV was responsible for the explosion of the music industry and performers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson. Fashion was changing, popular culture was changing (remember ‘Seinfeld’?) and, here in Virginia, attitudes were changing about how people with developmental and intellectual disabilities were treated.

By 1988, Hope House operated ten group homes, each with eight to 15 residents. And locals were much more receptive to having these homes in their neighborhood. Momentously, toward the end of 1988, Hope House started a pilot program to serve a few residents in their own home or apartment. The program was such a success, Hope House committed to moving everyone we served out of group homes. David (whom we still support) became one of the first people we supported to move from a group home into his own apartment. Also, in 1984, Hope House took over the former Ghent Arts Festival and turned it into the Stockley Gardens Arts Festival, still a major fundraising and awareness-building event for the organization.

1990s

While the World Wide Web was opening information and communication pathways to the world, Hope House continued to think big and deliver even bigger. This decade saw the closing of the last group home, with every Hope House resident now living in their own home. The mid-90s saw the beginning of the U.K. Study Tours in which staff members and people supported by Hope House traveled to England and Scotland to observe progressive organizations and make lasting connections. In 1995, Hope House Executive Director Lynne Seagle was honored with the Joseph P. Kennedy International Leadership Award in New York City. And, a couple years later, the “Hope House 10” arrived, so named for the 10 former Norfolk Community Services Board residents who chose to stay with Hope House and received privately funded services.

2000s

As the need for its services and living space increased, Hope House undertook the task of purchasing safe and affordable housing. So in 2000, the organization established its first-ever capital campaign to raise funds to buy properties. More than $1 million was raised to purchase small multi-family buildings where people served by Hope House were able to live side-by-side with their neighbors. Also during the decade, Miller Oil became the first major corporate sponsor of the Stockley Gardens Arts Festival; both Lynne Seagle, Executive Director, and Elena Montello, Development Director, received Women of Distinction awards from YWCA of South Hampton Roads; and Hope House was awarded the American Association for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities national award for full-service community inclusion in 2008.

Through the first five years of this decade, Hope House supports 123 individuals living within the community in 13 neighborhoods in Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach. In 2012, we were awarded Best Service Provider by the ANCOR Foundation. And, Hope House remains the only organization in Virginia to exclusively support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in their own homes – a distinction we would gladly share.

From our Executive Director As you read this year’s biennial report celebrating our first 50 years, I’m sure it will allow many of you to reminisce. For others, it will offer a glimpse into the past and the incredible story this organization has forged. Our history reflects, in many ways, the times in which we lived. But I believe you will also see that we were often several steps ahead in our thinking about supporting people with disabilities.

I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” - Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken

From a personal perspective, I can’t look at Hope House Foundation’s past without seeing my own, and it’s a connection I cherish. I feel fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to have traveled the road alongside the amazing individuals we’ve supported since my arrival 36 years ago. I have also worked with some of the most talented and compassionate people, all connected by our mission. This career has taught me my most important lessons and helped me become my best self. Our agency has been fortunate along the way to win some awards – including national recognition – for being pioneers in our industry. Our philosophy of standing up for the rights of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, specifically the right to live in their own homes among the community, should not make us a lone beacon. But, unfortunately, it still sometimes feels like that, so, we graciously accept the awards. But it’s in full recognition that we are simply doing the right thing, following the road we took from the beginning, and that what we do is all about those we support, not about us. Our beliefs and hope for people with disabilities are modest and universal. We believe people should feel safe, have friends and loving relationships, be employed and valued for their contributions, and live in their own home. We believe in supporting people as individuals with dignity, while encouraging the self-direction of their life. The result is the welcome inclusion of people with disabilities in our neighborhoods, businesses, social gatherings and spiritual communities. As Sam Cooke sang, “It’s been a long time coming,” but we’re getting there. So, what will the next 50 years bring? I believe the citizens of the Commonwealth will rise up and no longer accept a national ranking near the bottom in regards to inclusion and funding for people with disabilities. I believe we will find our way, not because the Department of Justice and others say we must, but because we demand a state that values all of its citizens equally, regardless of how differently we may be created. Thank you for traveling some part of these 50 years with us; our perseverance has been fueled by your hope, and our success from your belief in us. We could have never done it without you, nor would we have wanted to.
