- $1.6 million spent. The Village Community is a non-profit organization, founded in 2013 by parents of adult children with intellectual disabilities, with the purpose of providing high-quality, engaging experiences to our members so that they can continue to live happy, healthy, productive lives. We have a commitment to building relationships with members, member families, staff, and the broader community. We have been recognized as a thought leader and continue to provide consultation to stakeholders and community partners on our model of service provision that has significantly less overhead and administrative costs than other similar service providers. This has translated over time to low staff turnover and a more positive member experience. Since our inception, we have earned the highest certification level possible through CARF International (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) for our day habilitation program. We have a stable and thriving day habilitation program and a residential program that has experienced growth and is now serving individuals with intense, challenging behaviors. We recognize that our staff are our most valuable asset and we remain committed to ensuring they are offered competitive wages and benefits. We are striving for stability in this time of uncertainty with Medicaid funding and statewide program restructuring. Reserve funds are available should they be needed as a bridge if funding cuts are realized.
