What Extend-A-Family Kingston does

Extend-A-Family Kingston (EAFK) is a non-profit organization established in 1981 and headquartered at 361 Montreal Street in Kingston, Ontario, with a secondary location at 660 Bagot Street. The organization supports adults with developmental disabilities and their families across the South East Region of Ontario, an area covering Hastings, Prince Edward, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington, Leeds & Grenville, and Lanark counties. EAFK's service portfolio spans six program lines: EAFK Programs (children and adult programs), the Growth Hub outdoor community space, Housing Navigation - South East, Family Support Services, the Passport Program, and the Developmental Services Ontario (DSO) South East Region administration.

DSO South East Region is the strategic centerpiece. EAFK is one of nine provincially designated DSO agencies across Ontario, contracted through the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) to serve as the front door for adults with developmental disabilities seeking funded services in the region. DSO intake and case routing is coordinated with a network of six community partners (Community Living Prince Edward, Community Living Quinte West, Community Visions & Networking Quinte, Kerry's Place Autism Services, Community Living Kingston & District, and Resolve Counselling Services Canada), plus a resource partnership with 211 Ontario.

The revenue model is non-commercial and operates on government funding plus donations. Primary funding flows from Ontario MCCSS for DSO operations and Passport funding administration; services to clients are provided at no fee. The organization employs 11-50 staff and reports no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or audited financials. EAFK is governed by a Board of Directors as an independent non-profit, with compliance under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005). The organization has no disclosed AI, proprietary technology, or commercial product lines; its technology footprint is limited to a Squarespace-hosted website and standard communication channels.
