A huge accomplishment that had a very simple beginning with one goal in mind, to help children live in a safe and nurturing home – The Detroit Children’s Baptist Home. During the early part of the century, children of all ages stayed in our care for many reasons including abuse, neglect, poverty, and from there, the Judson Center tradition of helping children, adults and families live healthy and successful lives began. During the past nine decades, Judson Center evolved, never forgetting our roots. When there was a need, we have been there and so has our dedicated board, leadership, staff, donors and partners. Our longevity and ability to grow is all due to the generous support we receive, and we are full of gratitude as 2018 was another successful year for Judson Center.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    Serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1967 A N N 2 U A L 0 R E P 1 O R T 9 Serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1967 Dear Members and friends of The Arc: I am pleased to present The Arc of Oakland County’s 2019 Annual Report. This document provides information about our organi- zation’s history, programs, committees, and finances, and it reviews our many activities over the past calendar year. These activities included assisting with understanding guardianship and Power of Attorney documents, participating in Person-Centered Planning meetings, assisting with Individual Educational Plan issues, drafting and updating of wills and trusts, providing expert counsel on all governmental financial benefit programs (e.g., SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, Adult Home Help Services, and, the ABLE Act saving program). Our primary purpose is to provide advocacy for individuals in Oakland County who have intellectual and developmental dis- abilities (I/DD). One of the objectives in our Strategic Plan is to “be the pre-eminent provider of inclusive services and supports for people with Intellectual Impairment and Developmental Disabilities and their families within Oakland County.” Through the hard work of our Executive Director, Tom Kendziorski, and his outstanding staff, I am proud to say that we have achieved that goal. But families of children with special needs in Oakland County still face many obstacles, both during the school years and after the yel- low bus stops coming to their house. We will continue to be there for them. Amazingly, we served 2,500 new persons through our advocacy services in 2019! Our highlights for 2019 included the following: • We broke our record for paid membership, with 1,175 members, including four new lifetime members for a total of 88! We are the largest local chapter of The Arc in Michigan and the 10th largest nationally-affiliated chapter in the country! • We increased the number of individuals for whom we serve as Fiscal Intermediary (FI) to approximately 1,350.
