RESIDENTIAL

Supports are provided that enable our participants to acquire, retain, or improve skills necessary to reside in a home of their own. Participants are supported in learning skills such as cooking, housekeeping, grocery shopping, and money management. Homes are owned or leased by the residents and are fully integrated into the community.

TRANSPORTATION

The people we support can’t drive. They need accessible, affordable transportation options that bring employment, healthcare, education, housing, and community life within reach. Transportation is provided to those we support in an effort to further their independence. Journeys’ drivers provide safe and reliable transportation to take the people we support to and from work, medical appointments, community service sites, grocery shopping, community events, and an array of other life-enhancing activities.
