Empowering Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Scully Learning Center Foundation provides enrichment activities, life skills training and community support for adults with development disabilities. We are raising funds to build a residential center for developmentally disabled adults who become homeless when their family or long-term caregiver is no longer available to care for them.
Support the Scully Learning Center Foundation and other local nonprofits at Harold’s Corral on October 29th from 5-8pm.

Scully Greeting Cards
Creativity with a Cause
We are excited to share a special fundraiser that brings together creativity, community, and compassion. Participants recently teamed up with the Sonoran Arts League to design a beautiful collection of greeting cards—12 cards for just $30—with proceeds supporting our programs and mission.
Who We Are
Every person deserves a place to call home and a community that cares.
At Scully Learning Center, we believe every individual deserves a home filled with hope and belonging. Unfortunately, many adults with disabilities face the heartbreaking risk of homelessness as their caregivers age and housing options remain scarce.
Our mission is to empower adults with developmental disabilities by profiding safe housing, comprehensive life skills training, enrichment activities, and a supportive community. We are committed to fostering independence, dignity, and lifelong support, enabling individuals to lead stable, fulfilling lives and significantly reducing the risk of homelessness.
Over 50 adults with disabilities have been supported since 2010.
Preserving Families Home
“This will be more than just a residence – our community will empower adults with developmental disabilities to live with purpose, joy, and lifelong belonging.”

In the Cave Creek area, too many adults with disabilities face uncertain futures as their caregivers age. At Scully Learning Center, we’re changing that by providing life skills training and a supportive community where adults with disabilities can thrive. And we hope soon to provide safe housing - Preserving Families Home. Since 2010, we’ve proudly supported more than 50 individuals toward independence and belonging.

Every day, we get closer to our goal of building Preserving Families Home, because of YOU! Preserving Families Home will be the first of its kind and will provide a model enabling the smooth and comfortable transition out of a forever family home for physically and developmentally disabled adults and their siblings. Unlike other residential settings, siblings or friends can be placed together and relatives will be welcome to reside in a studio apartment while their family member(s) adjust to their new setting.
As Arizona’s population continues to grow, the housing crisis in the state is worsening. According to First Place Global Leadership (2023), the invisible population within the current housing crisis reveals that at least 159,000 people in Arizona who have an intellectual or developmental disability (IDD) need housing now. Approximately 77% of those with IDD in the state live with their aging families. Of that, about 27% live with a caretaker over the age of 60. This invisible group housing crisis is going to need housing and support as their families transition, perhaps due to their own needs as a result of nursing homes or death. Without immediate action, the invisible housing crisis faced by adults with IDD and their families risks becoming a full-blown emergency with widespread, lasting consequences, potentially increasing the number of homeless in Maricopa County.
We are currently underway raising funds to build this forever home. You can find out more and how you can help by visiting our website!
