Osprey Village

 

OSPREY Village is a South Carolina nonprofit corporation founded in July, 2008, by parents of adults with developmental disabilities. All parents want to be assured their children have the opportunity to live in a safe, healthy community that will enrich their lives with friendship and social interaction.

OSPREY Village is developing an “inclusive residential neighborhood with a purpose” that will provide individualized services for adults with special needs. The Village will be an intergenerational community that is open to anyone who would like to have the opportunity to interact and live in a “neighbor helping neighbor” village.

NOTE: Osprey Village does not currently have any residential facilities or services available.  We anticipate acquiring property on which to build our “inclusive intentional community” in the near future.  However, it will likely take 2-3 years after that to put in the necessary infrastructure and utility services needed to begin building our residences. We do, however, currently provide community-based, individual employment support (job training) services and respite services to individuals in the Beaufort and Jasper county areas who have Medicaid waivers.
