Albertina Kerr

Mission

Albertina Kerr empowers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and mental health challenges to lead self-determined lives in their communities. 

Bottom Line for Portland

At Kerr, adults with I/DD have access to safe, supportive homes, day programs that build skills and connection, and meaningful work opportunities. Youth with complex needs find stability in 24-hour residential care and specialized mental health supports, and youth in crisis begin to heal through trauma-informed crisis psychiatric care—helping Oregonians live with dignity, belonging, and independence.

Quote

“Kerr didn’t just show me how to live—they gave me the tools to have a life.”  – Jaden, supported in a Kerr Group Home
