OUR LARGEST PROGRAM
In its largest program, Center for Social Change provides community-based residential supports to adults with developmental disabilities. Living in apartments, townhomes, or single-family houses, the more than 100 individuals supported by CSC receive a wide array of support services needed to enable each of them to live independent lives to the fullest extent possible.
Each time staff assist an individual in eating at their favorite restaurant, shopping at their neighborhood grocery, or attending a local sports event, CSC staff provide opportunities for genuine community integration. Each time staff assist an individual in participating in a neighborhood clean-up or area-wide yard sale, they are enabling that individual to contribute to the health of their communities.
Empowerment, personal growth, choice, rights, and productivity — each of these represent a hallmark of successful community integration, and each is at the center of how CSC designs and delivers residential supports.
The first individuals that CSC supported residentially in the community came from Rosewood Center, Maryland's largest State institution. Because these individuals had lived in the State institution for 30 to 40 years, their transition to community life presented immense challenges. Today, they continue to enjoy their lives in settings where they make choices about menus, activities, the decor of their homes, and the staff who support them.
This program is fully accredited by CARF International, the highest standard of quality in human services, since 2011.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Maryland since 1993.
