Parkview Services

Welcome to Parkview

Parkview Services is a King County based non-profit organization that supports people with developmental disabilities and their families. Parkview was started by Norman and Stella Chivers in 1967 with the purchase of the state's first group home located up on Capitol Hill. It was the Chivers' vision that this home would provide families a community-based alternative to institutionalizing their son or daughter.

Today, over 40-years later, young adults with a developmental disability live at this home and go about their daily lives much the same as anyone else: working, playing, and enjoying friends, family and their neighborhood.

Parkview has a Board of Trustees that is responsible for the direction and leadership of the organization. The Trustees are all volunteers with a mix of family members and other concerned community members.

Today Parkview has five distinct programs: Parkview Group Home, The Affordable Housing Program, Camp Parkview, Stepping Out for Fun, and The Homeownership Program.

Programs

		Affordable Housing homes owned by Parkview to rent to extremely low income people with developmental disabilities, where rent is set at 30% of income including utilities.				Camp Parkview offers retreats in spring and fall, and a summer camp located on Vashon Island and staffed by volunteers.
		Homeownership Program provides Education and Down Payment Assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families who live with them so that they are better able to afford and keep a home of their own.				Stepping Out For Fun connects people with developmental disabilities to new friends and fun activities.
		Parkview Group Home six adults live in and receive daily support services in a beautiful home on Capitol Hill.				Home Maintenance provides low cost basic repair and maintenance services to our Affordable Housing and Homeownership Programs.
