Maui Hope’s mission is to research and explore how meaningful relationships are the key to supporting our loved ones to live their best lives.
Established in 2020 on Maui’s North Shore and licensed by the Hawaii Department of Health as a Medicaid Waiver Agency in 2021, the non-profit was birthed as a response to the staff shortages seen as a result of COVID-19. At the moment, there is a critical lack of research for what promotes quality and sustainable caregiving for special needs individuals.
With decades of collective experience, the Maui Hope team is working to research and rewrite the way Hawaii cares for special needs adults. Rather than the traditional us/them approach, at Maui Hope, disabled and typically-abled people meet on level and share strengths as we all aim for our highest selves.
The intention of Maui Hope is to promote an optimal life - a full life for adults with developmental disabilities, to learn through our research and to document how relationship building impacts overall quality.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
