MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of Maple Leaf Community Residences, Incorporated to provide quality, safe , and affordable residential housing to persons with disabilities.
MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Thank you for visiting us today. Take your time and browse our website.
Maple Leaf Community Residences grew out of a State of Ohio housing needs assessment for the developmentally disabled to a non-profit corporation providing good safe, quality homes that are affordable. Before Maple Leaf started here in Geauga County the options for housing for those who were developmentally disabled was very limited, stay at home with a parent, relative or family friend, live in a state institution, or live in a nursing home. Now, with the choice Maple Leaf provides, we not only have another option, but we have a better option. I see our residents growing in every dimension of personal growth and what’s more important, they do too and they like it. Our residents like making choices for themselves, from what to have for dinner to where to go for entertainment, from what color their bedroom should be to what night they do their laundry, from visiting friends to mellowing out at home.
I have had the privilege of directing the work of this housing corporation for the past four years and in that time I have seen the number and quality of our homes grow each and every year. The need for more housing is evident with a waiting list close to 200 people. We thank you if you have supported us in the past, or are considering supporting us in the future, with your help Maple Leaf will continue to expand to meet the needs of those individuals with developmental disabilities in need of housing.
Respectfully,
Keith Werbeach
