Serving Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Promise Community Homes (PCH) is here to help answer “what’s next?” for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

⚡🏠💙 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.
Home generators are vital for some 𝐏𝐂𝐇 residents who depend on technology for breathing, eating, lifting, or bathing.
When storms hit and power is lost, they can’t wait hours—or days—for restoration. At least 20 𝐏𝐂𝐇 homes, housing around 65 residents, have whole-home generators keeping them safe and comfortable. 💡
In this year’s major outages, some 𝐏𝐂𝐇 homes were the only ones in their neighborhoods with power—especially across North and South St. Louis Counties.
Our goal: every 𝐏𝐂𝐇 home equipped with a generator, so each resident with 𝐈𝐃𝐃 always has a forever home that’s affordable, accessible, and powered. ♿🔋♾️

According to the @ndssorg, about 1 in every 775 babies is born with Down syndrome in the U.S.—around 350,000 Americans today. Life expectancy has risen dramatically in recent decades, and that’s worth celebrating! 🎉
When 𝐏𝐂𝐇 began in 1967, the average life expectancy for someone with Down syndrome was only 10–15 years. Even by the 1980s, it was about 25 years. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝—and we’re proud to help make that possible by providing safe, inclusive, and comfortable homes for adults with Down syndrome and other 𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🏠💙💛

Testimonials
My sister lived with our parents until our mom was unable to care for her anymore due to illness. At that time, the only place for my sister to live was in a habilitation center. I was referred to a support agency, and together we approached PCH (then called Rainbow Village) to find a community home for my sister and some roommates. Rainbow Village was able to find a great home in a safe community for the residents and her whole attitude has changed. I noticed that she smiles more and is able to do things we take for granted (i.e. can go to the kitchen and get food when she wants to). The home is great and beautifully maintained. The neighbors even comment that it is one of the best looking homes in the neighborhood. I am very pleased that my sister is provided a safe, comfortable and affordable home in the community for the rest of her life.

Promise Community Homes serves two constituent groups equally – both the disabled and their families. The homes provide the ability to live and belong in community, and thereby enrich the lives of its residents. In turn, providing a safe and happy place to live gives their loved ones peace of mind and freedom of their own. As someone with a developmentally disabled family member, I understand the substantial benefits. By supporting this organization, I’m helping to create and maintain the home and community environment that means so much to so many.

I just wanted to let you know that the move-in tour went very well. The family thought it was beautiful and there were even some tears involved. Thank you for providing beautiful homes for the people we support.
