This has been achieved by devoting our efforts and resources to offering a comprehensive system of community-based services. We continue to be grateful for the confidence and trust that families place with us in the day-to-day support and care of their loved ones. The CCARC staff are committed to our mission to “Make Dreams Happen” and to providing individualized services to the people we are fortunate to support. Together we have fought diligently to create a full range of lifetime supports needed by people with a full range of disability. Fortunately, the state is recognizing the value of nonprofit providers and our advocacy efforts have continued to educate our legislative representatives. Unfortunately, the state still does not fully fund the cost to provide these critical services. Although it seems hard to believe, the rate has not increased since 2007! If they continue on this path of no increases, it could degrade the system that has taken 65 years to establish. We have come to have great expectations of our friends from the community—and we have not been disappointed. This annual report celebrates the generosity and heartfelt kindness you have continually extended to CCARC and the individuals and families we support. Thank you for embracing our mission and partnering with us to ensure people with intellectual disabilities receive high quality care, enjoy meaningful relationships and experience a life that is satisfying.
