Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Employment Services
We provide flexible, individualized employment supports – from start to finish – for people with disabilities, severe and persistent mental health issues, traumatic brain injuries, and sensory impairments, offering employment services in three different areas: Exploration, Development, and Support. Our goal is to develop customized jobs in the community that capitalize on each individual’s interests, abilities, and personal goals.
Community Services
At Accord we provide a range of mental health services to adults with severe and persistent mental health problems or to people with developmental disabilities. Our services are designed to promote wellness and recovery, with an emphasis on personal outcomes. Services included Shared and Individualized Housing.
Residential Services
Accord provides residential services and housing to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities/or mental health in Hennepin and Pine County, Minnesota. Our goal is to provide the support and opportunity for adults with disabilities to feel genuinely at home and involved in their communities. Personal outcomes are core in the support Accord provides.
Case Management
We provide case management and support services to individuals who qualify under the Developmental Disabilities (DD) Waiver, Community Alternatives for Disabled Individuals (CADI) Waiver, and the Brain Injury (BI) Waiver. Reach out to discover how we support those who qualify for these waivers to get the assistance they need to live more independent, self-determined lives.
Personal Support
Personal support is a way to provide supervision and assistance to an individual, either in his or her home or in the community, in order for the person to meet his or her goals. Accord works with families and individuals using personal support services to hire staff and implement the plan for supervision and assistance.
Housing
These affordable housing opportunities are designed to support individuals with mental health by giving them a place to live. Support services are provided by a mental health worker in a shared housing setting. Other services may also be an option for people in an individualized housing setting.
Home Health
This support option provides help in an individual’s own home. A nurse visits them on a regular basis to assist with medication management and education, and to assess their mental health and stability.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
At Community Involvement Programs (CIP), our mission and vision, both for our participants but also our organization, guide everything that we do. If you're considering our services for yourself or someone you care for, our mission and vision will give you a better understanding of the values that inform our work.
Our Mission at Community Involvement Programs
As listeners, learners, and leaders, we will stand with and support people who have disabilities in their communities as they pursue their personal dreams and goals.
The Vision We Share with the People We Support
•Each individual will experience a quality of life defined by personal preferences, cultural identity and informed choices.
•Individuals will participate as citizens, contributing to the life of their neighborhoods and communities by the work they do, the relationships they develop, and the interests they share.
•People will be known for their talents, abilities, and interests rather than their deficits, disability, or difficulties.
Each person's network of relationships will include family, friends, and others who care about the person.
Our Vision for the Organization
•We will respond as listeners, learners, and leaders by listening to the people we support, learning from them what we need to do so that their lives are self-determined rather than agency-prescribed, and leading community efforts so that people reach their personal goals.
•We will build collaborative relationships with human service networks and within the community at large.
•We will be innovative and embrace change; we will take risks as appropriate to advance our mission.
•We will value our employees as essential to realizing our vision and commit to providing the compensation, training and support necessary to maintain a professional workforce.
