Arkansas Department of Human Services

The Jonesboro Human Development Center is a state-funded residential facility that provides training and care for people with intellectual challenges or related conditions. The center serves approximately 100 people on its campus, while also offering support services to those in the surrounding community who might benefit from alternative living/service options. The goal of the center is to provide the support and training needed to help people reach their maximum potential in life while considering their rights to dignity and respect.

Why do We do it?

Project Care is a wonderful collaboration of programs, specialists, and special education teachers in our community who share a vision to enrich the lives of our special needs population. We do this through advocacy, education, and legislation because everyone deserves the same opportunities.
