Homes for Life Foundation was formed as a housing corporation in 1986 and as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization in 1987 by professionals from the fields of business and mental health who were also relatives and friends of people with mental disabilities. This dedicated group of volunteers helped to identify the lack of permanent, affordable, service-enriched housing as being the main obstacle to sane, stabilized lives for mentally disabled adults.

Salary will be based on education, experience and program funding. All employees must be able to provide and maintain Live Scan/TB clearances and First Aid certification; other requirements may apply. Homes for Life Foundation is a non-profit housing corporation.
