Helping Restore Ability (HRA) is a nonprofit organization that supports low-income individuals with disabilities of all ages by providing critical in-home care services that allow them to maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life. By delivering personal attendant care, long-term support, and specialized home health services, HRA ensures that children and adults with disabilities can continue living in their homes, attending school, and working, while preventing the need for institutional care.
Our Impact:
- 1,050 clients served annually
- 98% of clients live at or below the poverty line
- 2,500 trained caregivers providing essential support
- 50% reduction in emergency room visits and nearly 100% reduction in hospitalizations for clients since 2019
HRA's programs also serve veterans, helping them access crucial benefits such as the VA Aid and Attendance (A&A) program, enabling them to receive care at home without navigating complex VA systems. We offer comprehensive services for veterans in Tarrant and Dallas Counties, including applying for benefits on their behalf.
HRA's Oral Health Program addresses the critical gap in dental care for low- and moderate-income adults with disabilities in Dallas County. By offering free dental services such as cleanings, fillings, and extractions, HRA ensures that individuals with disabilities receive preventative care to avoid severe health complications linked to poor oral hygiene. Understanding the unique challenges people with disabilities face, HRA works with local dental providers to deliver these services, eliminating common barriers like cost, access, and transportation. This program plays a vital role in enhancing overall health and quality of life for our clients, preventing emergency room visits and more serious medical issues.
