Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Group Homes, Human Services
Mission: Rainbow Village enriches the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities by providing safe, affordable and well-maintained neighborhood homes. By meeting the essential needs of people with disabilities we are enhancing quality of lives – one home at a time. Today, there is a critical need for residential placements for adults with developmental disabilities. More than 400 people are now living at home, in nursing homes, or substandard housing and are waiting for a quality home in the Greater St. Louis metropolitan area alone. Rainbow Village’s goal is to provide safe, affordable and accessible homes for as many people with developmental disabilities as possible.
Results: Currently, Rainbow Village’s 82 homes are located in the St. Louis County, St. Charles County, the City of St. Louis and Jefferson County. Our program finds safe, suitable homes for disabled individuals, purchases and customizes the houses to enable these citizens to live in a home of their own. The Rainbow Village homes are outfitted with all the necessary safety and environmental modifications for the individuals to live safely, with long term low costs, and customized with financial support to fit their capabilities. We include all required maintenance so our residents live worry free. The Rainbow Village model is recognized by the federal government for economical and safe housing, allowing these citizens to beneficially participate in society.
