OUR MISSION:

About CARE
The ‘CARE’ in CARE Housing Society stands for Creating Accessible Residential Environments.
We are a non-profit organization that raises funds to purchase and maintain homes specifically for people with developmental disabilities. We are governed by a board of volunteer directors who are dedicated to supporting this at-risk group of people with stable, happy homes for their lifetimes.
Our Supporters
We’ve been operating since 1991 and so many people, businesses, and organizations have helped us along the way. We’re grateful for the support we receive from our members and the community at large — everything you’ve done for us has empowered us to get to where we are today! It’s important to us to celebrate the people who support us with donations for silent auctions, volunteer time, in-kind donations, financial contributions, and other professional services.
Our Residents
The youth and adults who live in CARE homes need special care and support. Our residents are all unique — some are medically fragile with specific health concerns, while others need assistance integrating successfully into their communities. CARE homes provide customized support services for residents who have developmental disabilities so they can find as much independence as possible in happy, comfortable homes that meet their needs.
Our Homes
If you provide care for a child or an adult who has a disability, you’ve likely wondered what their future looks like. Sometimes, picturing their future life can be challenging, or even frightening. CARE homes are designed specifically for our residents’ needs. The special “things” in your home that you think the person in your care won’t be able to get elsewhere? We design and build homes to make sure our residents get those things! All of our residents and their families personalize their rooms to their tastes and needs — no two rooms are ever the same!
