It began with a need.
A need for men and women with developmental disabilities to have a voice
in how and where they would live their lives. That need was recognized in 1972
when family members and friends worked together to form KVOU. Monies were raised
and a house was purchased in Vandergrift for five men and women giving them the
opportunity to live as adults in the community of their choice.
Since then KVOU has grown to operate seven 24 hour supervised programs, and an
independent living program which provides support for people who have
established their own homes in local communities.
KVOU is a private, non-profit organization. It is funded through Westmoreland
County's MH/MR program and licensed by the Pennsylvania Office of Mental
Retardation. All residential openings are filled through a referral system with
local human service organizations. Admissions, the provision of services, and
referrals of residents shall be made without regard to race, color, religious
creed, disability, ancestry, national origin, age, sex, or Limited English
Proficiency (LEP). If you have a friend or family member who would be interested
in our program, you or your supports coordinator may contact:
