Who We Are

Katie's House provides Self Directed Supportive Housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We also provide activities weekly such as Book Club on Thursday evenings and Social Groups on Friday evenings with our Friendship Group and Circle of Friends. The Service Group reaches out to help in the community by providing toys for children battling cancer and assisting families in need. 

What We Do

Mission Statement: 

Katie’s House is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

  • We believe that people with disabilities have the right to live, work and socialize with others of their choice who are age and ability appropriate. 
  • We believe the warehousing of adults with developmental disabilities in workshops and group home facilities must change. Some may need workshops and group homes, but many do not.
  • We believe the state should not decide where or with whom a person with disabilities can live, work or volunteer. 
  • We believe and stress participation in the community where these special adults can interact with the general population. 
  • We also believe that families can be encouraged to develop appropriate residential housing, activities and occupational opportunities for their adult child with the help of family mentoring.
