Mission and Vision
Since 2009, House of Possibilities has been dedicated to improving and enhancing the lives of the individuals and families we serve.
At House of Possibilities, we are committed to providing children and adults with disabilities and their families with a life-changing path to greater independence: a nurturing community, groundbreaking programs, meaningful opportunities, and passionate advocacy that free them to grow and thrive.
We first opened our doors in the Summer of 2009, thanks to the support and generosity of many volunteers, community members, local businesses, and funders. Stonehill College provides the long-term land lease for our facility and the Yawkey Foundation funded the design, planning, and permitting, as well as the initial investment to build.
House of Possibilities provides disability services to over 300 children and adults annually from over 60 communities across Massachusetts. Our flagship program, Children’s Overnight Respite, is the only non-emergency overnight respite program of it’s kind for children in the state. HOPe is based out of a home-like facility in Easton, MA on the Stonehill College campus, and has an embedded site at the Jewish Vocational Services (JVS) Economic Opportunity Center located at 75 Federal Street in Boston. House of Possibilities continues to be an integral part of the Stonehill Community, with over 50 students volunteering at HOPe each year, including one of the largest Best Buddies programs in the state.
