History of RHD-Missouri

RHD-Missouri has been providing services to people with developmental disabilities in the St Louis Metropolitan area since May 2008. What began as a small companion-based agency in 2008 with 6 employees has since developed into an organization that provides companion and host family supported living services, art-based day programming, and Personal Assistance in St Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas. In total, RHD-Missouri reaches approximately 150 people with developmental disabilities, and is quickly approaching 200 employees!

Although RHD-Missouri is a relatively new program, the organization has been providing supports and services to people with a variety of challenges including developmental disabilities, mental illness, substance abuse, poverty, and homelessness since 1970. Based out of Philadelphia, PA., RHD is a values-based organization that currently has programs in 15 States.
