Why PCL?
Because how people live, matters.
Help us bring dreams to life
Partnerships in Community Living, Inc. is a non profit organization founded in 1986 with the mission to Expand the Horizons and Enhance the Quality of Life for the People we Support where they work, play and live. Originally started in Polk County, Oregon, PCL has spread through several counties in the Willamette Valley, and in 2010 further expanded by adding a Southern Division (currently in Jackson and Josephine counties) in Oregon.
PCL’s organizational vision is to create and continually evolve as an agency that is the most person centered provider of services to individuals with developmental disabilities. We also strive to create the best training and consultation on issues related to developmental disabilities in America. It is our goal to be the preferred provider of these services and the quality standard by which others are measured.
Dreams become reality
I get the support I need
Each transition plan is unique and designed to provide a home that is supportive and a safe place to live. Support opportunities include a thorough Needs Assessment and planning meetings to ensure thoughtful choice of support.
I live with my best friends
People we support live in their own homes, in the town they want to live in and with people they like and choose to live with, or on their own if they prefer. This is in contrast to how many people with developmental disabilities live, which is wherever there’s an opening.
I spend time with family
Families are a very important part of planning and providing the very best support given to their loved ones. We keep families in the loop with events, meetings, and surveys.
I make time for fun
Whether it’s a night out at the movies or a concert, a quick trip to the beach or other local attractions, or a well planned vacation to Hawaii and other destinations, people we support have very full lives of fun, adventure and experiences that leave lasting memories.
