Reach has a proven track record of providing our community with programs and services that support individual choice and integrate our members into the community. We've been doing so for 40 years. We are committed to ensuring that all our programs have the resources necessary to operate at the highest level. Through effective community engagement, partnering with organizations that share the same values and agenda, and advocating for members, Reach will ensure that attention is focused on the needs of our community. With more strategic and diverse partnerships, Reach will work to reduce our list of future members on our waiting lists and ensure that everyone all has access to our services.

Reach will strive to tell our story to the community to advocate for our members. We will revitalize our strategic marketing plan to have more people experience the magic of our beautiful 10-acre campus. We will continue to partner with the community to provide parents and caregivers of our members and students access to information and the support they need to navigate the available resources for their loved ones. Reach believes in the power of partnerships and creating a disabilities-strong community. We will continue to seek partnerships with like-minded organizations to advance our mission.

For 40 years, Reach has been recognized as a resource for families and a leader in providing programs and services to adults and children with disabilities in northwest Houston. As the agency positions itself for the future, measures will be taken to develop a master plan that includes expanding services to meet the needs of Reach’s members. This includes developing plans to expand residential services to including senior living options so our members can age in place.

Investments in fundraising, technology, staffing, and facilities will strengthen Reach’s ability to meet the growing needs of the community in the coming years. To make this goal actionable, Reach will diversify funding streams and increase the variety of fundraising strategies across all areas of private revenue. Implementing these strategies will enable us to expand programs, renovate facilities, and provide competitive employment packages—which will attract and keep top talent.

Coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, Reach is striving to reach pre-pandemic staffing levels as soon as possible. New executive staff, including a new Director of Development, were made in August 2022, as well as the addition of four new board members in September.

Leadership is in alignment of the strategic plan and are ensuring that the foundations for growth are in place.
