What Developmental Disabilities Resource Board of St. Charles County does

The Developmental Disabilities Resource Board of St. Charles County (DDRB) is a government public taxing entity established in 1977 under Missouri state law (RSMo. 205.970), operating as a Senate Bill 40 Board. It is funded by local property taxes, with an average of 93% of tax revenue over the last five years directed to direct services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in St. Charles County, Missouri, and the remaining 7% covering stewardship, needs assessment, awareness, quality monitoring, and system coordination. The organization is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors appointed by the County Executive and confirmed by the County Council, with mandated representation from family members of individuals with I/DD and the broader public.

DDRB's core service portfolio centers on direct case management and the coordination and funding of a partner-agency ecosystem. It employs 43 staff across case management, agency and community relations, finance and operations, and human resources functions. In Fiscal Year 2026, DDRB contracted with 28 agencies to deliver 64 community-based programs spanning employment supports, residential services, transportation, therapy, recreation, and school-based programs. The organization also maintains a public Resource Directory organized across 10 service categories, a library of Guide Books and Transition Guides, a Partner Funding Manual, public board meetings, and meeting room rental facilities at its 1025 Country Club Road headquarters. In 2025, DDRB funding supported 2,659 clients, with nearly 25% newly entering services.

The underlying technology stack is non-proprietary: a WordPress-based website with accessibility tools, an online DDRB Portal and Alliance Portal for Agencies, and a searchable resource directory. DDRB does not develop or sell technology products and does not charge consumers for services; revenue derives exclusively from county property taxes. Distribution is direct-to-client case management plus a referral and funded-agency channel, with public board meetings and community resource directories serving as primary community-engagement channels. The organization's stated mission is to support inclusion, independence, and community integration for the I/DD population in St. Charles County.
