Our Story
Engaged Services was founded to help families navigate California's Self-Determination Program — a real, if often confusing, path toward more choice and control over the services a loved one receives. What started as service coordination grew into something more: a real, physical gathering place, and a conviction that disability support works best when it's the center of a whole community, not a service delivered from the outside.
That conviction comes from lived experience, not theory alone. Our founder's own family has walked this road, and the vision we're building — the Village Storehouse — exists because the need for something better was personal before it was philosophical.
