At STAR, we believe in “Acceptance of All”. We recognize that everyone has a unique story, strengths and needs. Our goal is to develop groups, programs and activities that benefit not only the individual but also the community and the STAR family. We believe that Participation Is Key to STAR’s success and our ability to provide services today and in the future.

Giving Back to the Community

In June 2023, STAR with the financial assistance of the Wildhorse Foundation, implemented the HOOPS (Housing Obstacles Overcome by Participation) community-based pilot program. Enrollment was open to all and included Ready-to-Rent classes, which focused on Tenant Rights & Responsibilities, Credit Repair, Landlord Expectations and Rental/Lease Agreements. In addition, HOOP participants gave back to the community by helping local agencies, including The Children’s Museum and Camp Fire Walla Walla with some much needed “Spring Cleaning”.
