Currently Hopevale is licensed for 94 youths and is located on a 55+acre site on Howard Road in Hamburg. The campus includes seven living units, outdoor recreation facilities, an administrative center, and the Family Activity Center.  Also part of our campus is a 42,000 square foot school complex known as the Hopevale Union Free School District (HUFSD).  One of thirteen special act school districts in New York State, our residents and HUFSD students enjoy smaller class sizes and more one on one attention and support.

The Family Activity Center, operational since June of 2001, added indoor recreational facilities for the residents and their families. A 12 bed non-secure Detention Facility opened its doors in June of 2001 accepting teenaged girls for placement until adjudication procedures are completed.

In January 2005, Hopevale began a residential treatment program for teen boys and accepted its first resident in the same month.   By serving both males and females, Hopevale is now better able to fulfill our mission of rebuilding young lives one at a time.

Hopevale received accreditation from the Council on Accreditation for Children and Family Services (COA) in July of 2002. COA accreditation attests that an organization meets the highest national standards and is delivering the best quality services to the community it serves.

The majority of children placed at Hopevale come from Erie & Western New York counties. Most are young adults who have been the victims of neglect, and physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Our goal is to rebuild these young lives and return them to their homes as responsible members of society.
