REACH for Special Adults of the Tri-Valley is a marriage of HOUSE, Inc. and Tri-Valley Special Needs Fund.
HOUSE, Inc. was established in 1990 by a group of concerned family members of developmentally disabled who wanted their loved ones to be able to live locally. The groups' goal was to provide safe, quality living environments where our residents learned self efficiency and lived with dignity and respect. TRI-VALLEY SPECIAL NEEDS was launched several years ago to provide a holistic approach to address nutrition, fitness, social and educational opportunities for this same community. REACH for Special Adults of the Tri-Valley is a non profit 501(c)3 organization. Tax ID #94-3158507. |
What we Hope To Do In The Future
Roughly 3% (or 1,000+) citizens in the Tri-Valley are adults with developmental challenges and they need a voice to ensure their currently under-supported needs are met. Our goals are to:
- Raise $100,000 in 2009
- Buy one new home every 2 years for the next ten years
- Develop a Dental Hygiene Program with local Dental Offices
- Roll out the REACH sponsored Nutrition Training Program through the recently trained trainers from the Support Agencies in our community
- Develop a network to provide families with appropriate resources, information and support for their specific situation such as legal services, job opportunities and housing
- Bring significantly more joy to the lives of the developmentally challenged of the Tri-Valley
MISSION
REACH is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of each individual we support by helping them achieve their fullest potential. Our mission is to provide resources, education, activities, community participation and housing opportunities that will enable adults with developmental challenges to approximate the pattern of everyday living available to people without disabilities.
