Listen to the Treasure House CEO Lauri Tanner talk about the amazing hope and inspiration they create every day! Our Mission Solving the Unique Challenges Faced by Young Adults with Developmental Disabilities and Their Families. According to the CDC, approximately 6.5 million people in the U.S. have an intellectual disability, and this population reports difficulty finding appropriately trained and willing healthcare providers. When public funding for education ends at age 18, educational resources and social options for individuals with an IDD are limited or unavailable. For many young adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities, the transition into adulthood can be difficult. Many struggle to find the support they need to live independently and pursue their dreams. Without a supportive community, they may feel isolated and held back, unable to reach their full potential. Treasure House is a Glendale, AZ, residence helping young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) find a supportive community and a personalized plan for achieving independence, inclusion, and purpose as they transition into adulthood. Each resident is given the same chance to lead a fulfilling life as anyone else, by removing stigmas and promoting independent living and personal growth. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive with their abilities. Our residents have access to a range of programs and services designed to help them build the skills they need to live independently and pursue their dreams. From life coaching to job training, we’re committed to providing the support our residents need to thrive. We also provide employment services for young adults with developmental disabilities. “As his grandparents and guardians, Justin lived with us for 15 years without any parental involvement. When Justin became 19 years old, we were at a loss. We live in a senior community. This young man had no access to life with people his age, and no means of returning to a youthful world. Treasure House opens up a whole new horizon to its residents. It is not only a place to live – it is a place of belonging that shares an outpouring of love and care. All the efforts extended have come to fruition. May God bless you all and help you along difficult but rewarding paths.” – Bobbie Martin, Justin’s grandmother Our Approach Unlocking Potential Through Individualized Support Treasure House provides resources for young adults with IDDs. Our mission is to provide residents with the same opportunity as all others to lead successful and fulfilling lives. We support people from all walks of life with equally diverse programming. Our unique and superior living environment is intended to support residents transitioning to adulthood. With active engagement from leadership, life coaches, and community assistants, residents are empowered daily to discover independence, community, inclusion, purpose, and more. Residents design and participate in vocational, educational, or volunteer opportunities and learn life skills, set goals, and gain responsibilities. Through developing and managing routines, schedules, and appointments, residents have unlimited opportunities to become part of the community and exercise their minds and bodies. Our model is built around advancing our residents’ safety and well-being, enhancing their independence, and creating connections in our community. By supporting Treasure House, you not only impact the lives of young people and their families, but you also strengthen the fabric of our community as a whole. Treasure House directly impacts the quality of life for individuals with IDDs and their families by offering an innovative living environment that helps strengthen the community. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to providing an accessible and superior living experience for residents as they transition into adulthood.
