Number Served in 2005
The Arc of Madison County has provided Residential Services to clients since 1998. At this time The Arc operates five group homes, four for women and one for men with a total number of 16 clients being served. During this last year we have expanded our program and opened an additional three-bedroom facility. All five homes are located in quiet little neighborhoods where the residents are offered the opportunity to acquire and strengthen their independent living skills.
