Community Vision receive the majority of our funding from Title XIX Medicaid funds via contracts with local County Department of Developmental Disabilities offices. These funds are awarded based on an agency’s ability to provide community-based care for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Additional funding for our programs are provided through grants, corporate gifts, individual contributions and fundraising events. These additional funds are essential to our Homeownership Independence Program, Circle Project, Mocha Mama’s Cafe & Deli, and to provide services like home repair and job training.
