The Arc: National nonprofit network providing advocacy and direct services (residential, day, employment) for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Comparable nonprofit operating model and IDD service portfolio, though operating at much larger national scale.
BrightSpring Health Services: Diversified home and community-based services platform serving IDD populations, behavioral health, and pharmacy. Operates ICF/IID and residential habilitation programs nationally; competes for the same Medicaid waiver authorizations and direct-care workforce.
Volunteers of America: National nonprofit providing housing, behavioral health, and disability services including IDD supports. Operates Head Start-equivalent programs and residential services with a similar diversified government funding model.
Catholic Charities USA: National network of social service nonprofits providing early intervention, Head Start, disability services, and family support. Comparable mission-driven service portfolio and federal/state funding structure to HIT.

Direct peers
