Mission

Creating valued lives for people with disabilities

The organization provides housing, supervision, training and therapeutic, medical and educational and other related services to developmentally disabled individuals in the state of Florida. In the current year, the filing organization provided services to 129 individuals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
