A non-profit agency providing community-based services to adults with intellectual developmental disabilities.

Crossroads Louisiana, a 501 (c)3 non-profit agency, was founded by Dr. Gerald Murphy in 1982 to serve persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in the Greater New Orleans area. As more and more State institutions began to shut their doors, Dr. Murphy saw an urgent need to provide community-based services that maximize each individual’s potential for independent community living and self-sufficiency.

*Supported Independent Living (SIL)*
Crossroads’ residential services also include a SIL program in which individuals with a NOW (New Opportunities Waiver) live throughout the community either alone or with roommates, in apartments or private homes. We try to inspire as many personal choices as possible and encourage each resident to become an active member of the community. Each individual has specially trained staff, Direct Service Providers (DSPs), to support daily living activities; including, but not limited to nutrition, cooking, money management, hygiene, the use of public transportation and other self-help skills.

*Title XIX Community Homes*
Crossroads operates community homes in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes that provide family-style living for six individuals in each home. The over-arching goal of the program is to create a caring, family atmosphere in which our residents can learn essential living skills such as safety rules, self-care, meal planning, grocery shopping, money management, and meal preparation.

*Job Link at Crossroads*
Job Link at Crossroads is a progressive day program for adults with developmental disabilities that helps individuals develop specific skills for achieving employment and/or community-integrated living goals through: Supported Employment, and Day Habilitation/Community Life Engagement.

A big thank you to New Branch Ranch Foundation for welcoming everyone from Job Link with open arms!

What a beautiful day we had! The people we support had the opportunity to spend time up close with their amazing herd, petting, brushing, and spoiling the horses with treats. Seeing the smiles, excitement, and pure joy that came from interacting with these gentle animals was the highlight of our day!

These are the kinds of experiences that mean so much to us. Opportunities to try something new, connect with animals and others, build confidence, and simply enjoy the moment. It’s days like these that remind us why we love what we do!

As a fellow nonprofit, we know how much heart goes into creating experiences like this, and we’re so grateful to New Branch Ranch for making everyone feel so welcome. We had the best time and can’t wait to come back!

If you’re looking for a wonderful place to volunteer your time or make a donation, please consider New Branch Ranch. They’re doing something truly special, and organizations like theirs deserve all the community support they can get!

That bell has never sounded sweeter!

This week we’re celebrating one of the strongest, sweetest, and kindest souls we know! She’s faced so much with incredible courage and strength, and we couldn’t be happier to see her ring that bell!

Cheers to Cheryl, to the end of treatment, to brighter days ahead, and to all the beautiful moments still to come! We love you and are so incredibly proud of you!

Two incredible women, two amazing milestones, and 20 years of dedication combined!

This year, we’re celebrating 10 years at Crossroads for each of these wonderful ladies! A decade of hard work, love, laughter, making memories, and making a difference.
We are so lucky to have you both as part of our Crossroads family!

Here’s to celebrating you both, all you’ve accomplished, and the joy and kindness you bring to our Crossroads family!

Sometimes it’s the quietest moments that stay with us the longest.

When someone joins an activity they’ve turned down time and time again, picks up a crayon, begins to color, and you see that smile. That’s the moment that reminds us why we’re here.

It’s about connection, joy, belonging, and celebrating every step forward.

What’s a little moment lately that meant more to you than you expected?
