Residential Services Alma House, David Gogian House, Hamilton House     Three group homes provide permanent residences for a total of 22 men and women. In a comfortable and secure atmosphere, residents can attain their goals of living productive and independent lives in the community. All three homes received tremendous support from the City of Glendale, in addition to individual, corporate, and foundation funding. Most notably was the impetus provided by the John Gogian Family Foundation.     Established in 1985, the Hamilton House was the first non-profit group home in the history of Glendale. The home provides housing for 10 adults, plus a respite room for short-term stay. Later in 1991, the Alma House opened to accept 6 adults who were on a waiting list for residential placement. Most recently in 1999, the David Gogian House was established to provide for 6 additional adults. We are proud of our integration into the community.
