Home of Guiding Hands is fortunate to have dedicated community support via its all-volunteer Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, Board of Governors, HGH Housing Corporation Board of Trustees and several volunteer committees.

Individuals who serve on the boards and committees provide valuable oversight and general management for the agency. Additionally, they offer support and establish policy in the areas of fund development, community relations, organizational operations, human resources, finance and strategic planning.

The Board of Directors meets every month on the second Tuesday. It's members serve a four year term and officers are elected annually by a majority of the Board.

The Board of Governors is an advisory board that meets at least annually in conjunction with the Board of Directors' annual meeting. It's purpose is to strengthen ties between HGH and community friends, serve in an advisory capacity in specific areas of expertise, assist with increasing support for HGH and provide input and comment concerning the agency's performance.

The HGH Housing Corporation Board of Trustees oversee the two U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) projects that HGH received funding for in 2003-04. HUD purchased and renovated two of our community homes and provides a small monthly stipend to HGH in the form of rental assistance for the 12 residents with developmental disabilities who live in these homes.
