What Diversity does

Diversity, Inc. is a Chesterfield, Virginia-based, privately held human services organization founded in 2004 that delivers a continuum of supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and dual diagnoses of developmental disability and mental illness. Its service model operates across Central Virginia, comprising three core programs: Group Day Support (community-based day programming with civic, volunteer, recreational, and skill-building activities), Group Residential Home (24/7 congregate residential care in 4-5 person homes, with 11 named homes currently in operation across Chesterfield County), and In-Home Supports (flexible services delivered in the individual's own or family home to enable independent living while supplementing family caregivers). Spoken outcomes reported by the company include 1,000+ individuals supported, 2,240 lives touched, 110 support professionals, and multiple 10+ year client tenures.

There is no proprietary software platform, AI/ML capability, or patent portfolio underpinning the offering; the company's stated core technology is a person-centered approach and individualized support plans, delivered by trained support staff. The organization's go-to-market is sales-led but referral-driven: Virginia Medicaid Waiver recipients are routed to the organization through Support Coordinators and Case Managers under three accepted waivers (Building Independence, Family and Individual Support, and Community Living), with the organization's status as a DBHDS-licensed provider serving as the gating credential. Brand awareness is supported by a website, community partnerships (Chesterfield, Henrico, and Richmond-area Community Services Boards), and direct contact via a central intake line.

Revenue mechanics are essentially synonymous with Virginia Medicaid waiver reimbursement on a recurring (typically monthly) cadence. Group home residents contribute $720 per month toward care and a $100 per month personal-needs allowance from Social Security, providing a small supplementary funding layer. The business is bootstrapped: no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no executive team publicly listed, and no app or digital product surface. The organization's structural dependence on a single state, single regulatory regime, and single payer system (Virginia Medicaid) is its dominant business-model risk.

Core offering

Diversity provides community-based human services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including day programs (Group Day Support), residential group homes, and In-Home Support Services. All programs are funded through Virginia Medicaid Waivers and serve individuals throughout Central Virginia.

Product overview

Diversity provides a continuum of human services for individuals with developmental disabilities or dual diagnoses (IDD), organized around three core programs: Group Day Support (community-based day programs offering social, recreational, and educational activities), Group Residential Home (24/7 congregate living in group homes with 4-5 residents), and In-Home Support Services (flexible assistance in the individual's own home or family setting). These programs work together to support individuals at various levels of independence, from those requiring significant daily support to those working toward greater autonomy. The organization is licensed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services and accepts Virginia Medicaid Waivers (Building Independence, Family and Individual Support, and Community Living Waivers).

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BrightSpring Health Services (parent of ResCare): Public diversified provider of home and community-based health services, including significant IDD services operations under ResCare/Kentucky-based subsidiaries. Larger scale and broader service portfolio (pharmacy, behavioral health, hospice) make it a broad incumbent rather than a direct IDD-only peer.

Others

• The Arc of the United States: National advocacy and direct-service organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. While The Arc chapters often operate residential and day programs, the national body is primarily an advocacy and capacity-building entity, making it an adjacent/thematic peer rather than a direct operator competitor.

Emerging players

• Bayada Home Health Care: National home health and personal care provider with a growing disability services practice. Overlaps with Diversity's in-home supports segment and shares Medicaid-funded home and community-based service model, though not a direct residential/day-program competitor.

Direct peers

• Sevita Health (formerly The MENTOR Network): Largest U.S. provider of home and community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, and brain injuries. Operates residential group homes, day programs, and in-home supports funded by state Medicaid waivers — directly comparable to Diversity's three-program continuum.
• Sunrise Community: Multi-state provider of residential group homes, adult day programs, and behavioral services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Service mix and group-home operating model are directly comparable to Diversity.
• Penn-Mar Human Services: Pennsylvania-based nonprofit providing residential, day, employment, and in-home supports for individuals with IDD. Closely parallels Diversity's three-program continuum, though concentrated in a single state outside Virginia.
• Dungarvin: National provider of residential, day, and in-home supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with group homes and individualized supports funded through state Medicaid waivers. Direct operating analog to Diversity's program mix.
• RHA Health Services: Multi-state provider of residential, day, and behavioral health services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, and substance use needs. Closely matches Diversity's waiver-funded service model and IDD focus.

Regional players

• AHRC New York City: NYC-based provider of residential, day, clinical, and employment services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Similar continuum-of-care approach, but geographically distinct from Diversity's Central Virginia footprint.
• Lifespire: New York and New Jersey-based nonprofit providing residential, day, and employment supports for individuals with developmental disabilities. Comparable program model to Diversity, but operates in a different geography.
