Who We Are ...
Heritage Homes, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit agency incorporated in 1971 by parents, advocates and clergy in the Holland / Zeeland area to serve the housing needs of adults with developmental disabilities. The organization which began with one adult foster care home has grown to regularly serve individuals residing in Allegan, Kent, Muskegon and Ottawa Counties.
For over the past 50 years, the organization has expanded its mission and services to include families affected by intimate partner violence, substance abuse, chronic illness, low-income and homelessness. Now, Heritage Homes serves families and individuals through developing and managing supportive housing apartment units, as well as providing specialized supportive services in five areas: community living supports, residential care, in-home respite care, daytime enrichment, and social recreation. Heritage Homes is constantly striving to make a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve everyday by creating an enriching, empowering and engaging atmosphere to make it another best day ever for both our participants as well as our dedicated and highly trained team of staff.

Daytime Enrichment Program
Our Daytime Enrichment Program, based in Allendale and Coopersville, offers person centered community based services that are enjoyable, safe, and physically and socially enriching. This program provides supports to adults that have significant ongoing therapeutic, medical and sensory needs. The supports may be provided in the program facility or in community settings such as libraries, museums, parks, universities, churches, and other venues of personal interest.
The Daytime Enrichment Program was developed to have the ability to accommodate people using wheelchairs and require or enjoy use of adaptive equipment such as a tilt table, therapy platform, personal hydraulic lift, sensory swings (indoor and outdoor), and need close assistance for safe eating, seizure disorders, or other particularly high attention to individualized sensory and safety needs.

The Supportive Housing program opened its first apartments for occupancy is December of 1999. Through its subsidiary, HHI Management Company, Heritage Homes, Inc. owns and manages 67 units of supportive housing as part of the Allegan County Supportive Housing Project. The program enables individuals with special needs (developmentally disabled, mentally ill, survivors of domestic violence, recovering substance abusers, chronically ill and homeless) to live as independently as possible while receiving necessary support services from various community agencies, to aid in achieving success and long range stability.
