Dear Friends,
At Omelagah, Inc., our purpose is simple: we exist to help people with developmental disabilities live in their home communities rather than institutional settings. This is the “why” behind our work.
Our collective efforts are part of California’s larger deinstitutionalization movement—the process of transitioning individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities out of large institutions and into smaller, community-based programs.
Since our company founding in 2010, we have provided hundreds of hours of support to individuals with complex needs. We have also helped 70 individuals transition out of an institution and into homes in the community.
Everything we do contributes to keeping people in the community and out of carceral settings, ultimately creating a better life. This work truly matters!
Regardless of your role—whether in HR, Administration, Payroll, Program Operations, or as a Direct Support Professional—your contributions help keep someone’s loved one in their community. We are bringing people home and working hard to keep them there.
When our work becomes challenging, we must revisit our purpose. The reason we do this work must be greater than a paycheck or the grievances of the day. We must renew our faith in our mission: to deliver quality support services for adults with developmental disabilities and complex needs.
We are one team working toward a single purpose that is bigger than ourselves. Ultimately, we are a company of people helping people.
It takes a village!
Sincerely,
Matthew A. Omelagah, CEO
Omelagah, Inc.
