The Cooperative for Human Services

A Passion For What's Possible

Founded in 1981, the Cooperative for Human Services, Inc. is a multi-service organization that provides residential services, independent living supports, and guardianship services for people with intellectual and other related developmental disabilities.

Our mission is to empower, support, and expand the knowledge, skill, and natural capacities of the people we serve to direct and live full and meaningful lives within their community. We provide residential and independent living services throughout Middlesex and Essex counties; primarily in the communities north and west of Boston; while our corporate guardianship program serves people living throughout the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Our passion is to create possibilities for all people with cognitive, intellectual and other related developmental disabilities. At the Cooperative for Human Services, Inc., we believe that opportunities for life long learning are the cornerstone to increased independence, personal satisfaction and success. With the support of caring and dedicated staff, each individual discovers talents, abilities, and unique potential to hope, dream, learn and live. We offer a continuum of services that are matched to life's milestones and needs; supporting young adults with disabilities who are just starting life's journey and ensuring safeguards for people who are aging and experiencing health related concerns. We design and deliver our services with a passion for what's possible.
