CRi, formerly Arlington Community Residences, Inc., began in 1975 when a group of Arlington families, faith groups and government leaders worked with Arlington County to charter an independent nonprofit agency that would bring together & expand efforts to help people with mental health and/or developmental disabilities to live & work in their own local communities.
For almost 50 years, CRi has supported people with mental health needs and developmental disabilities. Our staff, board members, and committee members believe deeply in our mission and vision and are dedicated to creating a community where all of our individuals will thrive.
Fifty years ago, CRi was founded on a simple yet profound belief: individuals with developmental disabilities and serious mental illness deserve the opportunity to live and thrive in a community setting. Fifty years later, this belief in community still functions as the core of our purpose and values.
