Operation HOPE, Inc. (HOPE) is America’s leading financial literacy and economic empowerment nonprofit organization. Founded immediately following the 1992 Rodney King riots in South Los Angeles, HOPE now operates in 70 U.S. communities, South Africa and the Middle East. After the tragedies of September 11, 2001, HOPE identified a need for Financial Emergency Preparedness that reduces recovery time, and HOPE Coalition America (HCA) was created to address that need. HCA is a national partner with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Citizen Corps, and the American Red Cross and is an active member of National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD). Through a collaboration of professionals from the banking, financial services and insurance industries, along with educators, government officials and community leaders, HCA provides financial recovery services and disaster preparedness guidance to individuals and small businesses before and after man-made or natural disasters. Our three step process provides a holistic approach to Disaster Recovery and Preparedness. RECOVER – After a disaster, our trained employees and volunteers from the financial services industry will be available to you immediately after the emergency and the next eighteen months to assist you, your family and small businesses in your community or city recover. HCA’s Disaster Recovery Coordinators will guide you and your household through the process of preparing a recovery budget; completing home inspections; selecting the right contractor; and managing the repair or rebuild. HCA’s Small Business Program Managers will help you assess the post‐disaster status of your business; assist in the cultivation of new sales opportunities; and identify the marketing and financial resources needed to position your business for full recovery. NAVIGATE – HCA personnel will identify available grant, loan, and assistance programs; determine your eligibility; assist you in the application process; and provide you with the counseling, tools, and information necessary to utilize those resources to return you to your pre-disaster financial position. PREPARE – HCA personnel will provide you, your family, and/or your small business with step-by-step guides to develop a Disaster Preparedness Plan that will prepare you personally and financially for the next man-made or natural disaster.
