About
At its heart, Friends of JCDS, Inc. is about helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities achieve success in the community, whether it’s providing accessible and affordable housing or helping with basic needs. We provide additional supports to individuals that receive any direct service from Johnson County Developmental Supports. As a stand alone non-profit, that means we operate independently from the county agency, but provide resources that they cannot. The two main resources we provide are accessible and affordable housing and access to special needs funds that help pay for basic needs with individuals budgets can't. This looks like assistance with dental needs, groceries, shoes, medical devices and clothing.
