Our House, Inc. Focuses on Individual Needs and Community Involvement

Since 1980, Our House, Inc. has done the important work of providing residential, employment and recreational services to individuals with developmental disabilities. Recognizing that people with development disabilities are outliving their parents and caregivers, Our House seeks to provide a community solution for those individuals by promoting a high quality of life, while still focusing on the need for flexibility in order to meet each person’s unique needs. A strong emphasis is placed on enhancing community involvement and participation, which fosters meaningful connections to community life. The trained and caring staff are experts at encouraging individuals to make independent choices regarding their lives and offer additional support through the provision of community residences, employment opportunities, and various social programs.
