Housing Voucher Program
For families and individuals with disabilities, finding a stable home can be a huge challenge. With a wealth of community services for people with disabilities at our fingertips, we have the connections and tools needed to help your family find a home. In particular, we support through the Housing Voucher Program so Jefferson County residents can navigate the process of securing affordable housing with ease.
We’re here to help you understand your options, complete applications, and connect you with resources that make securing housing easier. Our goal is to help people build a home where they can focus on the things that matter most to them—whether it’s achieving personal goals, improving skills, or simply feeling safe and supported.
Therapeutic Recreation
Our Therapeutic Recreation (TR) programs are designed to offer inclusive opportunities for personal and social growth. From adaptive sports to creative workshops, we provide experiences that cater to a variety of interests and abilities. These programs foster a sense of community while encouraging participants to step outside their comfort zones and explore their potential.
CES / SLS
No two people are the same, and neither are their needs. Our Children’s Extensive Support (CES) and Supported Living Services (SLS) programs provide individualized care for children and adults with developmental disabilities. For families with children, the CES program offers essential services like hands-on care, respite, assistive technology, and behavioral support. For adults, the SLS program delivers comprehensive assistance, including personal care, skill-building, and community integration.
Community Funded Programs
Our Community Funded Programs are designed to bridge the gaps where traditional funding falls short—providing flexible financial assistance for essential needs, emergency expenses, and opportunities for personal development. Whether it’s helping someone gain greater independence or easing the burden of an unexpected cost, these programs offer practical, heartfelt support to help individuals and families live life more fully.
