Help Us Bring Hope Road Home

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to give adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities a permanent home — and we're $85,000 away from making it happen.

Why Hope Road

Better Together has been presented with an extraordinary opportunity to purchase the former House of Hope campus — a beautiful 40-acre property in Traverse City.

Because the current owners believe deeply in Better Together's mission, they have chosen to offer the property for $2 million — half of its $4 million appraised value.

This remarkable opportunity gives our community the chance to create something that has long been needed: a place where adults living with disabilities and their families can find connection, opportunity, and hope for generations to come.
