Catholic Charities - Department for Persons with Disabilities

With a deeply rooted sense of family, faith, and community; and a commitment to excellence, Catholic Charities-Department for Persons with Disabilities (CC-DPD) provides residential, vocational, spiritual, and social services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Through competent and compassionate care, DPD empowers each person to become active, contributing, and valued members of their community, and to participate fully in life with dignity and respect. As a Catholic Charities Agency, DPD strives to end discrimination toward people with disabilities and works for social change by being a voice for justice and advocacy, and convenes others to do the same.

We offer group homes and supervised apartment programs for adults with developmental disabilities throughout the Diocese of Paterson (Morris, Sussex and Passaic Counties). We also offer an adult day habilitation center attended by many of our individuals, as well as others from different agencies or their private homes. All of our residents go to work, workshops, or day programs daily and focus on annual personal and work goals both there and in their homes.
