Jarc

Rooted in Jewish values, we support individuals with developmental disabilities while offering stability and opportunity to our team.

Jarc was founded in 1969 by Jewish, Metro Detroit families. At the time, it was a common belief that people with developmental disabilities belonged in institutions. There were few laws around housing rights and many landlords refused to rent to people with disabilities, leaving them with two options: move into an institution, or stay in the family home. The founders of Jarc envisioned something better.
 Forward-thinking and constantly evolving to meet changing needs, Jarc offers residential support to adults with developmental disabilities in a home setting of their choice, and respite care for families. Additionally, Jarc offers support to our team, enabling them to provide the best care possible to those we serve.
