Our Story
Founded in 2008, Osprey Village Inc. emerged from a heartfelt mission to create safe neighborhoods for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Initially focused on the needs of their own adult children, the founders quickly recognized a broader, pressing need in the Lowcountry. As inquiries from across the nation poured in, the vision expanded from a few homes to entire neighborhoods dedicated to supporting individuals with IDD.
In response to a critical housing shortage, Osprey Village opened thrift stores in 2011 and 2017, generating funds and providing job opportunities. A pivotal land donation in Hardeeville, SC, enabled the development of a comprehensive community model, which includes homeownership, rentals, and commercial spaces. Collaborating with local leaders and the State of South Carolina, Osprey Village is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for all.
