WHAT IS
HCAR?
Humboldt Community
Access and Resource Center (HCAR) is a private nonprofit agency incorporated in
1955 by a group of dedicated parents seeking an alternative to
institutionalization for their children with developmental disabilities. Today,
HCAR serves Humboldt County citizens with developmental disabilities by
promoting individual independence, community inclusion and family unity through
a wide variety of services and supports.
The agency's primary mission is to assist the people we serve to develop and
maintain a network of supports that maximizes their opportunities to be
contributing members of their communities.
Funding for HCAR's various services
comes primarily from the State of California via the Redwood Coast Regional Center.
We are also funded by the Humboldt County Association of Governments, CalTrans, grants and community support through donations and
through revenue we generate from paid work projects and various services
provided to local businesses. HCAR's revenue makes possible regular services to
more than 400 individuals and employment of more than 300 staff and consumers.
HCAR takes pride in delivering high-quality services that enhance the lives of
the people with developmental disabilities in our community.
