The Juneau operation serves 44 individuals with a wide variety of services and supports in the communities of Juneau, Hoonah, and Petersburg. Working closely with regional Native Corporations, the Juneau office seeks to establish relationships with the Native communities.

Hope is also in the process of opening its first assisted living home in Juneau and plans on opening at least one more in the upcoming year. Hope is continually growing and is always recruiting and hiring direct service professionals.
