About HOPE, Inc.
HOPE, Inc. is a Tucson community resource serving people in need through peer-run recovery services. The organization describes itself as a peer and family-run nonprofit that provides recovery-based community services throughout Southern and Southeastern Arizona. Its work centers on supporting people facing behavioral health and substance use challenges, with an emphasis on wellness, recovery, integration, and the belief expressed in its guiding message, "We're In It Together."
HOPE offers a range of services intended to connect people with support at different points in their recovery journeys. The services listed by the organization include peer support, therapy, criminal justice programs, substance use outreach, after-crisis services, and a Warm Line. Its resources also include referral and enrollment information, local and national information, and connections to community partners. Tucson is among the communities included in HOPE's Southern Arizona network, and the organization also lists groups serving members in Tucson, along with groups in Cochise County, Cottonwood, Nogales, and Yuma.
Peer experience is central to HOPE's approach. The organization describes its history as a story of peers working to raise up and support people facing mental health and behavioral challenges. Its careers information identifies HOPE as a culturally diverse, collaborative, and service-oriented environment, and states that individual choice is key to the health and welfare of those it serves. This model places people with lived experience and family perspectives within the work of helping others find practical, lasting support.
HOPE also works through collaboration. Its website says the organization partners with hospitals, health departments, courts, healthcare providers, managed care organizations, and community agencies. These relationships are intended to bridge gaps in care and connect individuals with meaningful, long-term support. The organization lists insurers and funders that include Arizona Complete Health, Banner Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Care1st Arizona, Health Choice Arizona, Mercy Care Arizona, Molina Healthcare, UnitedHealthcare, Pima County, Cochise County, Santa Cruz County, and Mariposa Nogales.
Members are presented as an important part of the organization's direction and success. HOPE maintains a Member's Corner with member news and events, providing a place for members to voice concerns, express creativity, promote events, and share information. Testimonials on the website describe people finding support for recovery, mental health, family relationships, employment, housing, and daily life. One member describes learning from peers while prioritizing mental health after moving to Arizona, while another credits HOPE with helping build a life that includes work, housing, family, and sobriety.
People in Tucson can begin by reviewing HOPE's referral and enrollment resources or exploring the organization's Tucson groups and service information. The website also provides information about community collaborations, member activities, Southern Arizona locations, and ways to support the nonprofit through donations or in-kind contributions. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, HOPE relies on support while continuing its peer-run recovery work across Southern Arizona.
