For 80 years our organization has provided resources and services for children and adults to maximize their independence. In 1945, a small group of dedicated parents and volunteers in Los Angeles united to provide home and community-based services for their children when no services existed. Today, the organization they founded and nurtured is known as Momentum. We remain true to our mission of advancing the independence, productivity, and full citizenship of children and adults with disabilities and medical conditions.
Our organization is always striving to find the next innovation and advocacy for advancing inclusion and access. Over the years we have expanded our agency to support even more children and adults. By adding WORK, Inc. to our family in 2001, services expanded into Santa Barbara and Santa Maria Counties. In 2007, Wheels for Humanity joined us stretching our impact to more than 70 countries worldwide.
Today, Momentum is the largest nonprofit provider of direct-care services for adults in Southern California. We have over 30 program and service sites providing an array of individualized resources so individuals can choose how they want to live their day-to-day lives.
