InterHab

What InterHab does

InterHab is a Kansas-based nonprofit membership association founded in 1969 as the Kansas Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (KARF) and rebranded over its 50+ year history to its current name. The organization represents over 50 member organizations that deliver community-based services to Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including residential supports, day services, employment services, case management, and CDDO administration. Its stated mission centers on independence, inclusion, and innovation for people with disabilities, executed primarily through unified advocacy before the Kansas legislature, KDADS, and federal agencies, complemented by training, networking, and workforce development programs.

InterHab's product portfolio is a bundle of programmatic offerings rather than a unified software platform. Core products include the annual Power Up! Conference, the DSP+ Registered Apprenticeship Program (delivered in partnership with Wichita State University, Relias, WorkHands, and the Kansas Apprenticeship Program), the Leadership InterHab development program (inaugural class 2025), the subscription-based Virtual Training Package, the Advocacy Alert Tool for legislative outreach, the annual Advocacy Day at the Kansas State Capitol, the Pathways to Oral Health initiative, and the member-led InterHab Champion Fund. Underlying technology consists of a WordPress website, social media channels, email/newsletter distribution via Mailchimp, and integrations with third-party training and apprenticeship platforms.

The business model is a nonprofit association funded through three primary streams: (1) annual membership dues calculated at 1.2% of audited staff salaries for providers (with a 0.1% marginal rate above $1M and an $800 minimum), billed annually, semi-annually, or quarterly; (2) associate memberships at $750 annually for vendors and non-provider organizations; and (3) conference and training revenue, including Power Up! sponsorship, exhibitor fees, registration, and the new Virtual Training Package subscription. Non-dues revenue is increasingly supplemented by tiered Association Partnerships (Visionary and Innovator tiers) with corporate sponsors such as Guardian Pharmacy and Neighborhood LTC Pharmacy.

Broad incumbents

• The Arc: National organization advocating for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, comparable in mission focus on the IDD population but representing individuals/families rather than service providers.
• ANCOR: National association for community-based IDD service providers. Directly comparable as the national equivalent of InterHab, and is already a partner providing members with federal advocacy benefits; differs in geographic scope (national vs. Kansas).
• AAIDD (American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities): Professional association for the IDD field, comparable to InterHab in serving the same population but operating at national scale with a research and professional credentialing focus rather than provider membership.

Direct peers

• MACDDS (Missouri Association of County Developmental Disabilities Services): Missouri's association representing county developmental disabilities services, comparable to InterHab as a state-level trade association advocating for IDD providers with state government in a neighboring state.
• NADSP (National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals): National organization advancing the DSP workforce, with whom InterHab partners on the DSP+ apprenticeship program. Comparable in mission to elevate IDD direct support professionals through credentialing, training, and recognition.
• INARF (Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities): Indiana's state-level association for rehabilitation and IDD service providers with the same trade-association structure as InterHab. Highly comparable operating model, differing only in geography.
• APSE (Association of People Supporting Employment First): National association focused on employment services for people with disabilities, overlapping with InterHab's mission to support community-based IDD service providers, particularly around employment and day services.

Others

• NASDDDS: National association of state directors of developmental disabilities services, comparable in that its members are the state government counterparts that InterHab's members negotiate with. Relevant as a policy ecosystem peer rather than a direct competitor.
