Pathpoint

Employment Services: PathPoint offers a wide variety of services to help low-income individuals with developmental disabilities and disadvantages overcome barriers to employment, to support them in obtaining jobs, and to provide them with training and support to keep jobs. Services include external situational assessment, personal and social adjustment, job development and placement, supported employment, work adjustment, and computer training. Steady employment is a driving force behind dignity, social integration, well-being, and positive self-image. During FY 23/24, PathPoint supported 1,338 members of the community towards long-term employment.

Independent Living and Residential Services: PathPoint facilitates greater independence in daily living, less dependence on direct care and increase community integration. PathPoint's Independent Living Services offer individuals with special needs the assistance and support required to live in their communities as independently as possible. PathPoint staff work with residents to plan, coordinate, and provide the services that they may need and prefer to achieve their goals. Instructors teach individuals independent living skills and household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, and personal care. Individuals attend classes designed to teach community mobility and safety, personal effectiveness, social skills, social-sexual education, health and nutrition, recreation planning, and budgeting and banking. In some services, PathPoint provides permanent housing as well as housing in licensed adult residential facilities. During FY 23/24, PathPoint supported 444 community members in Independent Living Services.

PathPoint incurs a variety of program-related expenses that do not fall into the three primary categories. These expenses include the operation of a counseling center for children and adults funded primarily through insurance, maintenance and other costs associated with owning property, and write-offs from prior fiscal years. During FY23/24, PathPoint supported 88 members of the community towards additional supported living needs. Starting in 2024-25, PathPoint will provide children and family services as a result of Kids & Families Together merging into PathPoint on July 1, 2024.
