Richland Newhope
Richland Newhope is committed to supporting people with developmental disabilities to live, work, and participate in the community, encouraging individual choice and family involvement.
Richland Newhope provides a wide range of services and supports to children and adults with developmental disabilities through early intervention, preschool, child care, residential, therapy, adult employment & recreational activities, transportation, and other family support programs.
Richland Newhope’s roots date back to the early 1950’s when classes for children with intellectual disabilities began in the former Richland County Children’s Home. In 1963, Richland Newhope Industries, Inc., a sheltered workshop program for adults with developmental disabilities, opened. In 1967, a state law was passed creating boards of developmental disabilities in each Ohio county. The Richland County board took over management of Richland Newhope.
