March is developmental disabilities month.

This month is about celebrating inclusion, raising awareness, and recognizing the strengths, contributions, and voices of individuals with developmental disabilities in our communities.

And, let us also not forget to honor the leadership of self-advocates and allies who have advanced inclusion, accessibility, equal opportunity, and civil rights.

this month is about accessibility. It’s about dignity. It’s about making sure every child and adult has the support they need to thrive.

Welcome back to Marsh House. On today's tour, we'll be exploring the intentional design choices behind this innovative, permanently affordable housing model in the heart of Town of Waterbury, Vermont .

In collaboration with Downstreet Housing & Community Development, three Marsh House apartments will be reserved for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

When developing Marsh House, co-owners and co-developers Evernorth north and Downstreet Housing & Community Development thought about:

-How Marsh House would fit aesthetically and functionally within the Waterbury community
-How residents might flow through and engage with common spaces
-How each apartment can be turned over and adapted to have accessibility features installed to fit individual needs

Marsh house is currently open for eligibility applications at https://downstreet.org/marsh-house-apts, and will open officially in the summer of 2026.

Our History

Upper Valley Services was organized as a non-profit organization in 1986 by a group of parents and advocates who felt strongly that supports for people with developmental disabilities should be provided by an organization dedicated to this purpose.

Prior to the formation of Upper Valley Services, supports for people with developmental disabilities in Orange County, Vermont were offered through Orange County Mental Health Service (OCMHS).

Working in conjunction with the Board of Directors for OCMHS, local legislators, and the State of Vermont a joint decision was made to for a new organization that would be run by a Board of Directors comprised of parents and advocates. From this process Upper Valley Services began as the sole provider for Developmental Disabilities in the Orange County, Vermont area. Later in 1997, a small developmental services organization located in Moretown, Vermont (Resources for Community Living) became part Upper Valley Services.

Upper Valley Services is currently designated by the State of Vermont to provide services and supports for people with Developmental Disabilities in Orange County, Vermont. Upper Valley Services continues to provide services in Moretown, Vermont, and through this program, provides services and supports to people who have come from various parts of Vermont.
