Housing is the foundation; the others build the life that housing makes possible. No program stands alone — a resident's housing stability enables skill-building, skill-building enables employment, and the whole organization can see what's working through a single individualized plan.
Safe, affordable, dignified housing in apartment-style settings integrated into ordinary communities. Residents have real homes — not institutional beds — with security of tenure and the supports they need to keep them.
Structured, individualized curricula covering cooking and nutrition, budgeting, hygiene and self-care, household management, safety, and public transportation — tailored to each resident's goals and pace.
Job readiness, vocational assessment, job placement, and on-the-job support toward competitive, integrated employment, in keeping with Arizona's status as an Employment First state.
Recreation, social activities, friendships, volunteering, and civic participation, so residents are part of their neighborhoods — not separated from them. Belonging is a core outcome we measure.
Training in public transit, coordination with local paratransit and community resources, and program-supported options — so lack of a ride never becomes the reason a resident's progress stalls.
Families are partners, not bystanders. We engage families in planning and support them through the transition of entrusting a loved one to a new home — answering the deepest fear that brought them to us.
Adults with developmental disabilities and their families typically find services through trusted professional channels rather than advertising. Carma's Place builds deliberate referral relationships with DDD support coordinators and case managers, Vocational Rehabilitation, hospitals and healthcare providers, schools and transition programs, and partner disability-services nonprofits.
If you're a case manager, clinician, educator, or transition coordinator interested in a referral relationship as Carma's Place launches, we'd like to hear from you.
