Journey Found Seeks Chief Executive Officer
About Journey Found
Headquartered in Manchester, CT, and established in 2013, Journey Found (JF) is a proven leader in providing behavioral, residential, and many other support services to Connecticut individuals with Pervasive Developmental Disorders and Intellectual Disabilities, enabling them to become all they are capable of being. Journey Found currently serves 74 adults with intellectual disabilities ranging in age from 21 - 82 in small (mostly 3-person) group homes and apartments, in individualized day support services, and a growing number are being supported in their own or their family's homes. Services are person-centered, and each person has an individual plan of service that addresses their hopes, wants, and needs in each aspect of their life: home, work, recreation, medical, and sometimes education.
Journey Found's annual budget is $16.2 million, 95% of which comes from contracts with the state of Connecticut. The organization has 280 employees (~166 FTEs) and is governed by an actively engaged 10-member board.
