About us
SJCS is different from other agencies. We decided in the 1990s to tear down the walls and provide services for people with disabilities where they can learn and grow the best–right in their own communities. Our person-centered supports meets the unique needs of each individual who comes through our doors, helping them to achieve all of their goals and dreams. We are committed to self-direction, full citizenship, advocacy and equal rights for people living with disabilities and individuals and families experiencing homelessness. SJCS has driven social change for more than 150 years through the development of litigation, legislation, training, technical assistance as well as through direct services. Based in Washington, D.C., SJCS provides support and services to vulnerable people in New York, Virginia, D.C., Tennessee and Delaware.

🎉 Thank you, Carters Inc., for your continued partnership! For many families trying to balance rent, groceries, and everything else, buying new clothes for kids can be challenging.

🥳 We're proud to share some of the people we support have become Advocates in Motion! This special training program, created by Tennessee's Department of Disability and Aging, empowers people living with disabilities to be self-advocates! Self-advocacy helps people to use their voices to speak up for themselves and the life they want to live. This is just one way we’re helping the people we support to live more independently with dignity and respect!

🎉 Today we celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act! This landmark legislation has broken down barriers for millions of people living with disabilities. While we've made significant progress in accessibility, employment, and equal rights, there’s still more work to be done. We will continue speaking out and standing in the gap for the most vulnerable members of our communities!
