Programs
The total number of persons served in all residential settings was 106. We served 56 clients with prader-willi syndrome and 35 clients with other intellectual/developmental disabilities in group homes owned or leased by the arc of alachua county. The arc additionally served 15 clients in personal supports which provides services in the client's own home not leased or owned by the arc and is staffed when the client is home. Lastly, 3 clients were served in supported living where services are provided in the individual's own home and are not staffed when the client is home. Supported living services are provided for an hour or two each day to help with specific tasks such as bill paying, cleaning, grocery shopping, medical appointments, etc. The goal of all residential services is to teach clients self-care, daily living skills, and self-management skills in order to become more independent and self-sufficient. Each client has an individualized plan with goals and objectives specific to his or her own abilities and desire to learn. Objective data is taken on training programs related to these plans. Regular reports are made to oversight agencies and plans are updated at least…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $6.3M to $9.7M (+53%).
