Our Community Pledge
We are navigators, acting as your primary link to
understanding and accessing resources in the community.
We are advocates, a support you can rely on
when you need help. We’re at the IEP table, in meetings with VR, and at your side with other social services programs.
We are connectors, helping you locate, interview,
and set up services with providers who can help you reach your goals.

Our History
Brokerage services have been available to adult Oregonians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) since 2001. At the start of the 2000s, several families with adult children with I/DD sued the state for timely services – over 5,000 people were on waitlists for services at the time. A settlement, known as the Staley Agreement, was reached and the state agreed to begin providing home and community based supports to those waiting. Soon thereafter, local Support Services Brokerages formed and by 2001, brokerage services began being offered throughout the state.
Today, brokerages serve nearly 8,000 individuals across Oregon via 14 organizations via a self-directed and person-centered model. We are community-born, community-led, and community-based.
