COMMUNITY JUSTICE INNOVATIONS

We are a software and services organization that helps communities achieve better outcomes for Justice and Child Welfare efforts. Our solutions focus on optimizing systems by improving the relationship among its parts.  

Every Child Arkansas is a network of advocates, agencies, and organizations working together to fill the biggest gaps in caring for children and families before, during, and beyond foster care in our state. We are united around a shared vision of: MORE THAN ENOUGH for children and families before, during, and beyond foster care in every county in Arkansas.

EVERY CHILD ARKANSAS

100 Families is a community-led initiative  to help families move from crisis to career using existing community resources by engaging community partners in an alliance, training agencies on a collaborative case management system, and recruiting case managers to respond when a family is in crisis.

100 FAMILIES

Arkansans are creating innovative solutions in pursuit of better justice outcomes — for families, for society, for our economy.

SMART JUSTICE

The goal of the housing development arm of Restore Hope is to assist in both the creation of affordable housing and to add transitional housing beds for harder to house Arkansans. The team consults with partners on projects and assists communities in putting together the project and financing for housing development. 

Housing is a fundamental need for families and we believe in housing PLUS: that housing isn't just about a roof over your head, but all families are best served holistically, with housing, recovery, transportation, employment, and education improvements in mind depending upon each individual's and family's needs.  Restore Hope seeks funding for Arkansas families to meet these housing needs.

HOUSING SOLUTIONS

Restore Hope partners with schools to create options for education after first attempts have failed. Alliance partners make regular referrals to literacy councils, adult education, and vocational training centers.

Restore Hope has strategic partnerships with Arkansas Learning Network and SeArk Community College to deliver K-12 and college in innovative ways:

Arkansas Learning Network has an online/hybrid delivery system for adults wanting to complete high school and is working on option for at risk minors.

SeArk Community College is delivering higher education in multiple prisons and consults with other 2nd chance colleges on best practices. We are working to expand wrap around support for those reentering society.

SECOND CHANCE EDUCATION

OUR MISSION

To reduce incarceration and the need for foster care through collaborative partnerships.

We do this utilizing our Crisis to Career model and our collaborative case management system, which allows for effective partnerships between agencies, community service providers, and faith-based organizations resulting in significantly better outcomes for communities.

OUR MODEL

OUR METHOD

HopeHub is a case management software platform that connects you to other organizations like yours, so you can capitalize on best practices implemented by thousands of organizations solving social issues worldwide.

  • Compliant Communication

    Electronic consent forms are signed by all clients, allowing referrals to be made directly in HopeHub and for all providers to work together to help clients move from crisis to career, ultimately reducing duplication of services.

  • Client Goal-Setting

    HopeHub's client portal also allows clients to sit in the driver's seat of their own plan for success, with the help and guidance of providers they trust.

  • Data Collection

    Clients are assessed using a standardized needs assessment in thirteen areas of need. This assessment is updated on a monthly basis, allowing us to collect real-time data regarding the progress and outcomes of clients across the state, all using the same measurement tools.

  • Resolving Legal Issues

    A Court Resolution Report is completed on all TANF-eligible clients in the system, with information on what clients need to do to resolve any outstanding legal issues, particularly with the goal of reinstating clients' driver's license

  • TANF Eligibility Determination

    This eligibility information is shared between all organizations who are using HopeHub, reducing administrative costs and burdens on organizations and giving ADWS a real-time look into the verification status of TANF-funded clients.
