Port Resources

Port Resources is a non-profit social service agency dedicated to providing innovative and supportive residential, outreach and outpatient services to children and adults with developmental disabilities and behavioral health challenges across Southern Maine. Port Resources is dedicated to empowering individuals with developmental and bahavioral health challenges to live meaningful and fulfilled lives in their communities. Port Resources was incorporated in December 1979 and opened its first group home in July 1980 (a six-bed group home on Emery Street) in Portland; now two, four-person apartments referred to as the "Munroe House," in honor of Elmer Munroe- one of the first individuals supported by Port Resources. Port Resources was established as part of the movement to de-institutionalize individuals with development disabilities from Pineland. Port Resources has grown is size providing residential programs for over 100 adults, adolescents, and children. Our in-home support and HCT programs provide out-reach services to over twenty-five children and hundreds of individuals are served through our outpatient mental health clinic. Port Resources has a trained staff of over three hundred full time individuals, including Direct Support Professionals, Behavioral Health Professionals, Licensed Clinical Social workers, Psychologists, Psychiatrists and Certified Professional Trainers. Port Resources has an annual operating budget of just over $13 million. We consider Port Resources a very special organization. As a result of our programs, many individuals with developmental and behavioral health challenges lead rich fulfilling lives in Southern Maine communities.
