Vision Statement

Our vision at Elevated Communities is to create a world where everyone has access to the support services they need to thrive. We believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy and fulfilling life, and we are committed to working towards this goal every day.

What is Resource Navigation

Resource Navigation provides hands-on support to help individuals easily access the lifelong services they need. This approach simplifies the process of connecting with essential community resources—promoting independence, self-sufficiency, and inclusion. 

How Elevated Communities Addresses This Need

At Elevated Communities, we’re dedicated to supporting the IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) and BI community—an often underserved population that requires personalized and flexible services. Our programs are designed to foster independence, promote employment, and encourage meaningful community participation. 

Resource Navigation

We assist individuals in identifying, understanding, and accessing supportive services throughout the community. This one-on-one guidance helps participants navigate systems that can otherwise be overwhelming. Our goal is to ensure every person has the tools and support they need to thrive. 

Advocacy

Our individualized, strength-based advocacy helps individuals break through barriers and pursue personal growth. We work closely with each person to identify needs, set goals, and navigate challenges, always focusing on empowerment and inclusion.
