Origins
MSSCA, a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency, was formed in January of 1985 as Mat-Su Children's Services, Inc. by a small group of community volunteers who believed in providing community-based specialized services to families with young children. At that time, the agency assumed responsibility for the Mat-Su Infant Learning Program. The Infant Learning Program (ILP) provides home-based services

to families with a child between the ages of birth and three years old, who has either a diagnosed developmental disability, a delay in development, or is at risk for such a developmental delay. MSSCA Changes and Grows
In January, 1987, the agency changed its name to Mat-Su Services for Children and Adults, Inc. (MSSCA). The primary reason for the name change was to demonstrate MSSCA's belief that a continuum of services should be offered locally. This concept has several practical implications, most importantly; persons needing life long services would have one local agency with whom to look for support. In July, 1987 the Supported Employment and Living Services (SELS), which includes supported employment, supported living, respite, care coordination and family support services joined the agency. Opportunities
Beginning July 1998, MSSCA was chosen to be a member agency of United Way of Mat-Su. This has provided new opportunities for funding unmet needs for MSSCA consumers and expanded public awareness of the agency and the services we provide in our community. Applications are submitted to United Way annually, reflecting the current needs of our consumers. In May of 2002, MSSCA was awarded a grant to support the Fetal Alcohol Resource Project. This project provides diagnosis and referrals for individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol and their families. This team of volunteers are dedicated to educating our community about prenatal alcohol exposure and improving the lifetime outcomes for those individuals. Board of Directors
MSSCA is governed by a Board of Directors. These Board members are community volunteers who represent a cross section of skills, interest and experience. The Board of Directors are legally and financially responsible for the agency. A monthly business meeting is held and is open to the public. Non-Profit Status
MSSCA is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit organization and has 501 (c)(3) status.
