Our Story
Founded in 1976 by Dave Tuttle, Brian's House was established to provide essential services for individuals with disabilities, including his son, Brian. The organization began by partnering with the Chester County Office of Mental Health & Intellectual Disability to create clustered apartments and community homes tailored to the needs of children and adults with disabilities. In 1978, Brian's House opened a renovated historic home in West Chester, Pennsylvania, serving as a residence for 14 children with profound developmental disabilities. Brian Tuttle was among the first residents, living there until his passing in 1989. Over the years, Brian's House has expanded its services, now affiliated with Woods, and offers a range of residential supports, vocational opportunities, and community integration options for over 200 adults with disabilities across the Greater Philadelphia area.
