Since 1954, Lifehouse has opened the doors of opportunity and independence to individuals with developmental disabilities through life-skills training, community integration, advocacy, referrals and community information. We couldn’t be more proud of the progress of the people we support, the satisfaction it has brought to them and their families, and the many beneficial effects of their integration into our community. With the help of our staff, donors, volunteers and local community, we strive to improve the quality of life for the people we serve and their families. Our individualized programs and services are provided in an atmosphere of respect, inspiration and purpose. We currently serve over 250 individuals living independently with support in the community in Marin, Sonoma and San Francisco Counties. Formerly known as MARC, Lifehouse is recognized as an innovative and forward thinking leader, continually striving to provide the highest level of services to the people we support and developing new programs to meet the needs of the community. Lifehouse provided the early leadership for special education, implemented the first employment training program, started Marin Special Olympics, launched community recreation programs for adults, a seniors program, and most recently, programs to address social and recreation needs for teens with developmental disabilities and the increased needs of those with autism. Lifehouse offers a comprehensive skills training model focused on each individual’s needs. We support many individuals with varying disabilities, and the needs of the people we support vary; this can range from two hours per week to 24-hour care. At Lifehouse, each individual participates in developing individual goals and is supported by a team of professionals.

:: “My journey has been shaped by amazing friendships, and finally finding where I truly belong. At Lifehouse, I’ve found not just a home, but a family that celebrates my dreams and accomplishments. Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean it should prevent you from doing or being anyone you want to be. Be confident and stay positive.”- Maggie Sartor, Supported by Lifehouse 1 year

:: “Prior to finding Lifehouse, we had so much uncertainty about Teodros’ future as an adult with atypical development. We felt strongly that where he started should not define how far he should be able to go. We were blessed to find Lifehouse, with leadership and staff that share and support this philosophy. Lifehouse is truly person-centered, allowing Teodros to experience life’s many facets, based on what he needs and wants. I have seen firsthand how Lifehouse allows each individual’s light to shine, no matter what their ability status.”- Marsha Treadwell, PhD, Lifehouse Parent & Board Member

:: “Everyone is unique. Helping a person feel comfortable with who they are is a great way to support someone. You can empower them to become independent and be their true self. Growth happens by putting in the work little by little, each day and over time varying degrees of independence can become a reality for the person supported.” -Felicia Romero, Associate Director of Programs, Lifehouse Employee 15 years

:: “Lifehouse has been a constant source of support and encouragement for Stephanie over the past 14 years. With their guidance, she accomplished something she’d dreamed about for years, earning her driver’s license. And now, moving into her very own apartment. Seeing her live independently and confidently is more than we ever imagined. We’re so grateful to Lifehouse for helping make that possible.” -Zoe Caires, Lifehouse Parent

🌟 How Lifehouse Launched California’s First Supported Living Services (SLS) 🌟

In 2004, Lifehouse forever changed the landscape of disability services in California by launching the state’s very first Supported Living Services (SLS) program. What began with just eight individuals has grown into a model of independence and inclusion that now supports more than 200 people — and has inspired programs across the state.

Thanks to the visionary leadership of Nancy Dow Moody, President & CEO of Lifehouse, and Dori McDonnell, former Lifehouse Manager, along with the courage of the individuals who took that first step toward independence, Supported Living Services are now a cornerstone of disability support in California.
