Affiliates

Over the period of the last 30+ years the CLC Group has grown from its small beginnings serving a handful of residential clients into the multi-faceted organization it is today serving some 2,500 individuals with a staff of 450 dedicated individuals. Community Living Corporation (CLC) took over a small private residential agency and has continuously expanded to what is today 40 residences.

The CLC Foundation was formed to manage the need to have Special Needs Trusts, which has grown to over 400 Trusts with a value of some $40 Million. CLC Fund for the Disabled was formed to conduct the necessary fundraising activities for our programs. CLC Day Habilitation program provides enriching day services to 80 plus people.

Hidden Treasures is an empowering  arts education program providing 150 plus participants access to painting, drawing, choral, dance and theatrical activities. Winslow Therapeutic Center brings over 40 years of experience to our group of affiliates in providing services to children and adults with disabilities. In 2014, a merger took place between Winslow and CLC resulting in a powerful expansion of services.

Recently, the Epilepsy Foundation of Metropolitan New York, a 50+ year organization, was added as additional affiliate of the CLC Group.

As all this was occurring in a somewhat disjointed way, it became evident that there was the need to form an organization that oversees the cross offering of services, coordinate the disparate activities, and provide the strategic direction of all these affiliates groups. Likewise, it was deemed that if additional services were to be provided, a common “back office” would aid in streamlining the organizations. Thus, the CLC Group was formed as the “Passive Parent” providing the overall management of the Affiliates.

Thus, the CLC Group currently provides the following services:


  • A full service residential program for mild to moderately developmentally disabled individuals.
