Full Stack Developer

Full Stack Developer Job Description

In 2015, Governor Asa Hutchinson created Restore Hope Arkansas to bridge the recognized gap between government services and communities struggling to reduce the rate of incarceration, to facilitate a successful re-entry from incarceration to freedom, and to reduce the number of children entering our state?s foster care system. For communities to improve, their most vulnerable must have knowledge of and access to services. For this reason, Restore Hope acts as a brokering agency to connect community and government leadership to each other and those in need of services. Restore Hope brings technical assistance, technology, and communities together to solve complicated issues.

The 100 Families Initiative is an innovative model that helps parents move from crisis to career using existing community resources. In the model, an alliance of community members coordinates together around a collective impact methodology. By engaging community partner organizations in this alliance format, Restore Hope has trained agencies on a collaborative case management system, assisted communities in analyzing data that brought light to needs specific to their community, and developed community-specific programs based on community data

and proven needs-aligned services so that service providers better know how to respond when a family is in crisis. Through these expanded, formalized partnerships, the 100 Families Initiative streamlines and coordinates services for those who need it and improves communication between service providers, ultimately ensuring that families in crisis receive the help they need while reducing service gaps and preventing duplication of services, resulting in a more effective and efficient social sector.
