As proposed funding cuts to Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, and/or housing assistance programs pose potential threats to individuals with disabilities, organizations like KenCCID are left to fill the gap.

While we are proud to advocate for and support our community of individuals with disabilities, we'll need your help to continue pushing forward.

With your help, we can continue to provide essential services like safe housing, medical support, assistive technology, and community outings for KenCCID's residents.

💙 Help us protect independence, dignity, and quality of life—one pledge at a time.

History

Kensington Community Corporation for Individual Dignity was conceptualized by several Philadelphia Families from the Kensington area of the city, some of whom had family members who were developmentally disabled. At the time of its founding, the era of court ordered de-institutionalization for the mentally ill into boarding homes and other unsupported environments was just beginning. Recognizing a need for services, these concerned Kensington residents worked diligently to form a non-profit corporation that would provide the quality lifestyle their loved ones deserved.

The charter for the Agency was signed in 1974, with its first Community Living Arrangement (CLA) opening in 1977. At the time of its opening, KenCCID welcomed three individuals from families and three from the infamous Pennhurst state institution (see video). The agency designed its support under the principles of Normalization and later enhanced their services with Person Centered Planning using Personal Outcome Measures.

Since then, KenCCID has worked diligently to provide people with developmental and intellectual disabilities the skills necessary to achieve the outcomes they want in their lives. The people we support are encouraged to provide for their own self-care, become responsible citizens and live a quality life as independently as possible.
