What We Do
|
Hap House trains, employs and nurtures severely individuals with physical and mental disabilities or those who are blind or deaf, who were not able to fit into organized programs in the community for various reasons.
Hap House offers a day time vocational rehabilitation center, in which clients are able to become contributing citizens by doing piece work on contract labor jobs. The more severely disabled clients work with objects that will strengthen their upper body, and increase their hand to eye coordination. Our hours of operation are Monday- Friday from 8AM until 4PM. Clients can attend all five days a week or fewer, all day long or part of the day. Hap House offers FREE handicap-accessible transportation to and from the workshop daily, which enables clients to access our program and community.
