Who We Are
Jay Nolan Community Services (JNCS) is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization established in 1975 by members of the Autism Society of LA. Currently, JNCS has over 700 staff supporting over 560 neurodiverse individuals through customized community-based programs.
Today, JNCS provides an array of support services across California, offering individualized planning guided by the needs and wishes of the person receiving services and his or her Circle of Support. Our services include: Supported Living Services, Adaptive Skills, ILS, Employment Services and more. Additionally, we are a provider of services which are waiver-eligible and/or eligible for the Self-Determination Program.
We subscribe to the core belief that the community is not whole and it’s not healthy until all members have the opportunity to contribute. We believe with the right kinds of support and assistance, individuals with disabilities can pursue their hopes and dreams and live to their full potential within the community. It is an ideal of inclusion, rather than exclusion and segregation.
