Our Mission

Guided by faith, Ann’s Nest offers a living environment of love, friendship, and belonging. Through the provision of safe and comfortable housing options with comprehensive professional support services, we empower adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live fulfilling, dignified, and self determined lives.

Our Vision

To build a vibrant campus where residents thrive through independence, dignity, and belonging, and families and community members connect.

Together, we’ll build a place where people with IDD can live fulfilling lives and families will find peace of mind.

Ann’s Nest was born out of the boundless affection Ann Vala had for her son John. The profound love and unwavering dedication she demonstrated throughout her life will live on through Ann’s Nest, an organization dedicated to providing housing for adults with developmental disabilities.

In honor of her legacy and spirit, we are committed to extending the love and care she showed for John by providing a nurturing environment that goes beyond safe and supportive housing. By providing a home where adults with developmental disabilities can reach their full potential, Ann’s Nest echoes the legacy of compassion and care left behind by Ann.
