We are thrilled to finally be back in our physical office after 7 months of working from our homes. We just moved back in on Friday May 28th. As can be imagined, there's still some unpacking and reorganizing to finish. If you are interested in directly helping us weather the effects of the storm you may contribute by linking to either of the options below. Any contribution is greatly appreciated.

What The Arc of Greater Houston Stands for:

The Arc is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization formed in 1984. We exist to help insure that all children and adults with intellectual and all other related developmental disabilities are valued and included, not excluded because they are different.

Our goal is to provide the supports that will allow all children with developmental disabilities to have the same experiences that all children should have as they grow up.

The Arc of Greater Houston serves as the voice of all those who cannot speak for themselves, but who just want to live in and be part of their own community.

The Arc of Greater Houston works hard to respond to the real-life needs of every child and every family who experiences an intellectual and any other related disabilities.

The Arc of Greater Houston works for the right of every child and adult with special needs to receive the behavioral supports necessary to be fully included in the community.

Anyone interested may donate a car to help support our programming.

The purpose of our website is to make useful information available to you. Therefore, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
