About DePaul
Community
Resources:
For 47 years, DePaul Community Resources has opened doors to
hope and belonging for families and individuals across Central and
Southwest Virginia. As a social impact organization, DePaul strives
every day to change the world by improving the lives of children,
families, and individuals with developmental disabilities.
DePaul exists to address the gaps where resources are lacking to
improve the quality of life of these individuals. Its Child and
Family Services (CFS) division provides foster care, independent
living, outpatient counseling, and adoption to prepare foster
children and adoptive families with the services and support
necessary for each waiting child to find a permanent, forever
home.
The Developmental Disabilities Division is committed to
increasing self-sufficiency and promoting the growth of individuals
throughout their lives (not just when they were young) through
sponsored residential programs and the new agency directed services
program. Two daytime support centers not only provide relief and a
critical resource for families who have loved ones with
developmental disabilities but also allow the individuals to
integrate and engage with others, elevating the significance of
their dignity and worth.
Through two service divisions and eleven service locations
throughout the state of Virginia — Child and Family Services and
Developmental Disabilities, 150 staff, a network of nearly 400 care
providers, foster and adoptive parents, and a host of volunteers,
advocates, and partners, DePaul provides safe homes, permanent
families, integrated community support, and opportunities for deep
healing across Virginia.
