🌟 WOW WEDNESDAY! 🌟
On this WOW Wednesday! Join us in celebrating Kemcy Sambola, Lionel-Linelle Ma Kem who began her KenCCID journey in February 2024 as a DSP and, through perseverance and dedication, has now been promoted to Community Housing Manager (CHM)! 🎉

From always putting her individuals first to creating a supportive environment for both residents and coworkers, Kemcy has truly embodied KenCCID’s mission. Now as a CHM, she will supervise DSPs and manage three of our homes — a testament to the growth we believe in and the opportunities we proudly offer. ✨

At KenCCID, we support our individuals and DSPs 365 days a year, and success stories like Kemcy’s remind us why we do what we do. 💙

This past Friday, KenCCID team members took a short drive to visit our amazing neighbor — The Tacony LAB Community Arts Center🎨✨ We had an incredible time connecting with local artists, discovering the creativity in our backyard, and strengthening the relationships we’re building with our community.

And the highlight of the night? We met a palm reader who was spot on! 🔮 Ha from Booming Fruits

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.
