HOPES CAP, Inc.’s Mission: Our mission is to provide
community services that respond to the social, educational and training needs
of its residents in an effort to overcome barriers and fight the causes of
poverty.
Overview: HOPES
CAP, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization and was established as a Community
Action Program in 1966. As a result of the HOPES’s Mission to fight the causes
of poverty, it has a variety of programs such as Senior Services, Community Assistance,
Adult Services, Youth Services and Early Childhood Services.
Early Childhood Services: The Early Childhood Services are known as the Head
Start Program and was implemented in 1966.
Head Start provides comprehensive services, including high quality early
childhood development, nutrition, health, and social services, along with a
strong parent involvement focus. In
1972, Congress mandated that 10% of the enrollment slots be designated for
children with special needs, including Autism.
Services are offered to children three to five years of age in Hoboken and
Plainfield. As of 2010, HOPES has been offering
home-based services to expectant mothers and children from 0-3 years of age.
Vision: HOPES’s vision is that
every child can benefit most from our
comprehensive, interdisciplinary program to foster developmental and remedy
problems as expressed in a broad range of services, and that the child’s entire
family as well as the community will be involved. The program will assist in
maximizing the strengths and unique experiences of each child.
