Since 1961 Community Living Essex County, a not-for-profit charitable organization, has been committed to assisting people who have an intellectual disability and their families.
A unique and wonderful characteristic of our organization is its grass roots origin – families formed the Association and volunteer families continue to help influence our supports and services.
Past accomplishments, present successes, challenges and future goals have always been realized with broad support and involvement. We actively encourage and benefit from the input of family members, self advocates, volunteers, staff and community organizations and businesses.
A strong Community Living Essex County membership consists of people who believe in our philosophy, values, and mission – people who care about the work we do, outcomes for people we support and the future direction of our organization. Members can make a difference; influence the services we offer people in Essex County and be champions of inclusive practices and communities.
