Who We Are

RSS provides residential and community supports and services for children and adults with developmental and other disabilities in home-based and community settings.

This year, RSS will serve approximately 650 people – helping our customers develop important life skills such as managing money, shopping for groceries, accessing transportation and community resources, and finding and maintaining employment. We also help customers engage in the activities that they enjoy, such as attending Sunday school, participating in volunteer service projects, baking cookies, planning vacations and attending dances.

The majority of our customers live in Mecklenburg County, but we are providing some services in surrounding counties. For example, RSS has been selected to provide Support Brokerage Services in five neighboring counties (Rowan, Davidson, Union, Stanly and Cabarrus). This program brokers supports and services, and teaches customers and families how to obtain supports and services, in order to enable customers to achieve their goals.

RSS is accredited by The Council on Quality and Leadership for Persons with Developmental Disabilities. Here is a quote about RSS from their 2004 accreditation report:

“That the organization helps people think about the future was evident from the dreams that people had such as publishing cartoons, a trip to Africa, owning a phone with a headset, home ownership, having a pet, and wanting promotions at work. Others wanted to return to the beach, purchase a cell phone or learn to dine more independently."
