About Journey Found

In February of 2013, 51 people with intellectual disabilities, their families, and the 192 dedicated staff members who supported them, had their lives disrupted when they were notified that the agency providing their homes and other vital services was no longer able to serve them as of June 30, 2013. In a heroic effort, the parents of the people served came forward and committed to creating an agency for the sole purpose of the continuity of care for their loved ones and the other people supported.

Journey Found was born from the love and commitment of these parents and the dedication of the staff who served them. On May 16, 2013, Journey Found was incorporated and the door opened on July 1, 2013, to a fully formed nonprofit organization with no disruption for those enrolled in the programs. This odyssey not only preserved services for those 51 individuals and jobs for the 192 staff, but also began a much-needed process of culture change and values clarification. The organization went from a top down, compliance-focused structure, to a vision-driven agency committed to quality and governed by families.
