Your 2025 Annual Report is Here!

Dear Friends,

This year marks a defining moment in Association House’s 126-year long history. As we celebrate the completion of our 2023–2025 Strategic Plan, let us reflect on the journey that brought us here.

Following the remarkable 27-year tenure of Harriet Sadauskas, I stepped into the role of CEO and President in 2021. During this time, our world was still navigating the lasting impacts of COVID-19. Still, we began drafting our new strategic roadmap. In an era marked by uncertainty, we chose to act boldly. Because what defines Association House has never been the challenges before us, but the determination with which we face them. This continues to be true today and every day.

Over the last three years, we made tremendous strides to achieve our goal to expand access to high-quality, culturally responsive services while breaking down barriers that have long limited opportunities, especially for individuals with disabilities and our Black and Latinx community members.

Together, we:

• Grew from a $12 million to a $23 million organization, ensuring more families, youth, and individuals receive the resources they deserve

• Strengthened programs, expanded services, and reimagined what support can look like in a changing world

• Deepened partnerships with community organizations and businesses to build more pathways for individuals to thrive

Because of you, our stakeholders, donors, staff, and participants, we see our mission coming to life all around us. What once began as possibility has transformed into progress. The seeds of change we planted together are now in full bloom.

As we look ahead, we recognize that uncertainty still surrounds us. But thanks to your commitment and belief in our work, we move forward with hope. Our next chapter is just beginning, and together, we will continue to flourish.

With gratitude,

Juan Carlos Linares

President & CEO
