Koinonia
When Koinonia was founded in 1974, our communities were closed to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Many of them were institutionalized, marginalized by society, or isolated with aging parents and family members. Koinonia was one of the first nonprofit organizations to suggest a different future for people with IDD, a future that ensured people could receive the support and guidance they need to live inclusive lives.
Today, Koinonia enriches lives through superior care, extensive programming, and a dedicated person-centered approach to our work. Koinonia operates 20 licensed group homes, over 50 supported and shared living arrangements, day activity, vocational, and career services for people with IDD and other complex conditions. Our transportation department includes 12 buses and 46 vehicles.
We provide services in six counties: Cuyahoga, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, and Summit Counties.
