ABLE, Inc., standing for, “A Brighter Living Experience,” has been providing residential care to people with developmental disabilities within Houston County for over 40 years. First named Houston County Group Homes, the 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation began in 1979, as a grass roots effort by concerned parents who sought an alternative to sending their loved ones with disabilities to state institutions or keeping them out of the public eye. ABLE focuses on enhancing the lives of the people it supports by promoting their uniqueness and building their self esteem and independence in a safe and comfortable environment. At ABLE, we are united in the belief that people with disabilities are best served by those who value them as individuals, fellow community members and friends.
