The Arc, Warren County Chapter, Inc.

They assist families to solve challenges associated with the lifelong care of their family members. As an advocacy organization, they create the kind of universal environment where the people they serve are accepted and respected in the community. The Arc of Warren County was founded in 1954 by parents, educators, and other interested individuals who recognized the need for a comprehensive program of service and support for their children who had intellectual and developmental disabilities. They serve more than 1,100 people annually, including persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their family members. Their countywide programs include community living arrangements, recreation, day programs, community-based support, advocacy, early intervention, and a wide range of social services. The Arc of Warren County is part of a state and national Arc network of providers who offer quality services and programs through 700 chapters across the United States each year. Funding for The Arc programs is made available through Medicaid, the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), the New Jersey Department of Human Services, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (Project First Step), and the Warren County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
