AFIL is a unique and innovative residential program located in Dallas. We are unique in that we are a transitional, residential program tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Each person stays in the program as long as it takes them to grow, mature and learn to the maximum level of their abilities. The curriculum is based upon the resident's abilities rather than their disabilities. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are an underserved population who deserve the opportunity to live a full and independent life within their communities. Our goal at AFIL is to develop these skills in our young adults so that they can live independently and become contributing citizens.
The AFIL Vision is to remain a lively community which consistently meets the needs of our residents so that each individual may feel a sense of belonging and live to their fullest potential, while their families can live with the peace of mind that their loved one is cared for and safe.
To provide a safe and supportive living environment for our adult residents who are diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, elevating them to their highest independence and interdependence through life skills, education, and vocational guidance.
Funding for Capital Needs Projects - Installation of security cameras, replacement of 48 windows, exterior painting, remodel of new sensory room, updates to Level 2 apartments
AFIL is committed to employing and serving all individuals within our designated population, regardless of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or disability. We believe how a person identifies contributes to their character and adds to their perception and skill set. We seek to have a diverse community, and value each perspective that we are fortunate enough to have included.
