Serving Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Welcome Home
We are here to help answer “what’s next?” for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
In the St. Louis area alone, hundreds of people with disabilities are waiting to leave institutions, substandard housing, nursing homes, or the care of aging parents.
Want to help PCH support adults with IDD?
"The light is what guides you home... the warmth is what keeps you there." ~ Ellie Rodriguez
As the year comes to a close and we gather with loved ones in the warmth of our homes, we’re reminded of what “home” truly means — a safe haven, a foundation, a source of comfort, and a promise of belonging. For the adults we serve, home represents a dream come true — a life lived with dignity, independence, and the joy of community.
This is the promise of home — a promise that offers freedom, warmth, and the chance to thrive. Please help us keep this promise alive this holiday season.

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.
Sister of a PCH Resident
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.
