The Arc Greater Husdon Valley

What The Arc Greater Husdon Valley does

The Arc Greater Hudson Valley is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services organization founded in 1949 (with roots among the first Arc chapters in the nation) that provides person-centered supports to over 2,000 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families across Sullivan, Orange, and Dutchess Counties, New York. The organization operates through 14 distinct programs including residential services (55+ community-based homes offering Individual Residential Alternative, Individualized Support Services, and Community Habilitation), clinical services at Monticello and Poughkeepsie clinics (psychology, psychiatry, nursing, dentistry, speech/occupational/physical therapy, nutrition), day habilitation across 12 sites, supported employment, guardianship, school-to-work transition, mobile mental health crisis intervention, and family/children's services including Sibshop.

The current entity was formed in two mergers: SullivanArc and The Arc of Orange County merged in 2019 to form The Arc Sullivan-Orange Counties, followed by the 2021 unification with The Arc of Dutchess under the present name. The organization is a chapter of The Arc New York (35 chapters statewide, 60,000+ individuals served) and is affiliated with The Arc of the United States (600+ chapters nationwide). Technology infrastructure is minimal and operational rather than differentiated: a Firespring-hosted website, Constant Contact email marketing, and iPads (donated by Resorts World Catskills) used for basic telehealth video access in residential homes.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through government reimbursement (OPWDD, OMH, DOH, and Medicaid waivers), supplemented by NYSARC Trust Services grants (annual range $67,000-$150,500 over 2020-2025, with a downward trend), individual and corporate donations, a tiered annual membership program ($1-$150), signature fundraising events (golf tournament, bourbon tasting, NDEAM breakfast, Partners at Work breakfast), and car donations. Most core services are provided at no direct cost to individuals with IDD. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and led by Executive Director Regina McKenny-Snead, who succeeded long-tenured ED Ric Schwartz in 2023 after his 20-year tenure.
