What InCommunity does

InCommunity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1979 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that provides community-based support services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) across eight Metro Atlanta counties (Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale). The organization was formed in 2014 through the merger of enAble of Georgia and Georgia Community Support and Solutions (GCSS), and currently supports more than 2,600 individuals annually through 41 residential homes, 5 adult day program locations, 4 crisis homes, and a network of HOST (life-sharing) family homes.

InCommunity's service portfolio spans Adult Day Programs, Residential Options, the EmployABILITY Supported Employment program, Community Living Support, Family Care (maintenance and emergency respite), Family Support Funding, Autism Respite Care Services, Behavior Support, and Crisis Support. CARF Gold Seal accredited, the organization operates as a credentialed provider under Georgia's Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) NOW and COMP Medicaid Waiver programs, which serve as the primary reimbursement mechanism. The organization complements Medicaid-funded services with philanthropic fundraising — including the annual Are You IN? Benefit gala (raising $415,000 in 2024) and the InCommunity Foundation — to bridge approximately $2 million in annual uncompensated care costs not covered by Medicaid, Social Security, or private pay.

The organization is led by CEO Meg Blackwood (succeeding former CEO Angela Long) with a Board of Directors and a workforce of 501-1,000 employees that includes 300+ Direct Support Professionals. Sub-brands include Arts InCommunity (creative programming) and Beyond Horizons / Unlimited Possibilities Center day programs. InCommunity is a member of the Georgia Neurodiversity Chamber, Metro Atlanta Chamber, and Georgia Center for Nonprofits, and maintains partnerships with community organizations, churches, schools, and corporate sponsors across the region.
