Where We Serve
Registered in White Hall, Arkansas, serving Southeast Arkansas, beginning in Jefferson County. We currently operate without a physical office to minimize overhead and maximize impact.
Mission
Building Excellence Together
Immediate Goal: Purchase or renovate a property in the White Hall/Pine Bluff area for 4-5 adults with disabilities.
Future Goal: Expand to multiple homes and individual housing units across Southeast Arkansas keeping housing affordable and accessible through grants, subsidies, and private donations.
Our aim: No more than a four-month wait from application to move-in.
When We Plan To Act
Our goal is to open our first group home by September 1, 2026, staffed 24/7 to support adults with critical needs.
Our Why
Why we serve
Families of adults with disabilities often wonder who will care for their loved one in the future.
We believe every adult deserves the opportunity to live independently and safely, near their social network and community.
