What it reported doing in 2024

Employment services: the organization currently contracts with the state of Arizona department of economic security; division for developmental disabilities and rehabilitation services administration in providing employment services for individuals with a disability. These include a variety of services such as group supported employment, individual supported employment, work adjustment training, job development and placement, supported employment, adult day training and transportation. Most of these services pay the individual for on-the-job training while other services focus on independent living skill development. The long-term goal of employment services is to prepare and train these individuals to obtain and maintain community integrated employment; build self-sufficiency and independence.

Operating model
