Promise in Brevard

Community Services/Non-Profits
Hours: Promise in Brevard is a supported living community for disabled adults, providing a range of activities, employment options, apartments, and a cafeteria. The staff is described as amazing, and the organization is praised as a wonderful place for the community of adults with special needs to live. The facility is registered under the Housing Authority as low-income, making the rent affordable for the Special Needs community. It is not a care facility, and support for residents is the responsibility of their families, who can hire additional aides if necessary. The community offers a variety of amenities, including a pool, exercise room, art center, media room, and a cafeteria with excellent meals. The vocational training program, utilizing Aves's Place Café and Bakery, Promise Treasures, Promise Cafeteria, and catered events, provides residents with experience and guidance to pursue careers in the local community. While there have been some challenges, the board and staff are described as the best and kindest people, and the organization is expected to continue improving with the community's support. Some reviews mention concerns about staff and volunteer attendance and the selection of activities, but these are refuted, with the explanation that additional fees cover the costs of security, staff, transportation, and meals for the activities and classes provided by paid staff. Overall, Promise in Brevard is praised as a great, loving place that offers independence and opportunities for disabled adults, and the community is encouraged to support the organization.
