The Arc Rockland

What The Arc Rockland does

The Arc Rockland is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1954 and headquartered in Valley Cottage, New York, that provides comprehensive health, rehabilitation, educational, residential, and therapeutic services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Rockland and Orange Counties. The organization operates through a portfolio of integrated programs including Prime Time for Kids (a full-day special education preschool for ages 3-5, recognized as a School of Excellence by NASET), Individual Residential Alternatives spanning 31 homes across Rockland County, a Supervised Transitional Apartment Program in Nyack, Supportive Apartment Program, Day Habilitation Services at six locations, Supported Employment and Pre-Vocational Services, Community Habilitation Services, a year-round Recreation Program, and a Self-Advocacy program. The organization also operates Hudson Valley Comprehensive Healthcare, a fully accessible medical clinic offering primary care, mental health, and therapy services that was originally founded to serve individuals with IDD and has expanded to serve the broader community.

The business model is diversified across four revenue streams: (1) government funding through OPWDD preauthorization and Medicaid reimbursement for residential, day habilitation, and community habilitation services (the primary revenue driver); (2) donations and grants administered through The Arc Foundation of Rockland, including individual gifts, corporate sponsorships, grants, and planned giving; (3) membership fees at nominal rates ($100 lifetime, $10/year individual, $1/year for individuals receiving services); and (4) event revenue from signature fundraisers including the Harold Peterson Memorial Golf Classic, A Taste of Rockland, and Step Up for The Arc Rockland Walk. The organization employs 501-1,000 staff with over 400 providing direct care, supports over 600 individuals with disabilities, and maintains nearly 40 service locations across Rockland County.

The Arc Rockland is an affiliate chapter of The Arc New York (NYSARC), which is part of The Arc of the United States, a 54-chapter national network serving over 60,000 individuals. Strategic partnerships include four Care Coordination Organizations (Care Design NY, Partners Health Plan, Life Plan CCO NY, Advanced Care Alliance NY), multiple educational and community partners, and over 30 employer partners for supported employment across retail, food service, and manufacturing sectors. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, has no private equity or venture capital involvement, and recently underwent a CEO transition with Jane Zemon retiring in 2025 after 30+ years of service.
