We’re Here: Then, Now, Always – Support Residential Programs

March is National Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the achievements, independence, and contributions of individuals with IDD. This week, we’re shining a spotlight on our residential programs, which provide safe, supportive, and empowering homes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Then: Residential services began in large institutions with limited choice and independence. Over time, In Flight has helped individuals transition into community-based group homes and supported apartments, where they can live with dignity and autonomy.

Now: Our residential programs teach critical independent living skills, from cooking and budgeting to household management and self-care. Residents gain confidence, self-reliance, and the ability to fully participate in their communities.

Always: The future of residential care is innovative and empowering. With your support, we can:

Integrate SMART home technology to support daily routines and safety
Provide in-home health monitoring and diagnostics
Fund home modifications for accessibility and long-term livability
Expand supports for aging residents or those with evolving needs

Your gift has a direct impact:

$250 – Home Safety Partner: Funds modifications to improve safety, accessibility, and comfort
$500 – Future-Focused Leader: Advances future-focused supports, including in-home diagnostics, health monitoring, and adaptive equipment, ensuring lifelong independence

“Your support ensures that every resident doesn’t just have a home, they thrive in it. Join us this month in celebrating independence, growth, and possibilities.”
