About

The Sol & Ruth Gerber Family Center in Chula Vista operates four day programs under The Arc of San Diego, a nonprofit corporation founded in 1951 that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across San Diego County. The center's life-skills curriculum covers communication, money management, and personal safety, complementing the broader family-support and housing services coordinated through South Bay Community Services. Vocational-development tracks integrate classroom instruction with community-based work experiences, transitioning participants into volunteer placements, paid internships, and competitive employment in local industries. Health-navigation support connects enrollees to managed-care resources through organizations such as Community Health Group, ensuring continuity of medical and behavioral-health coverage funded through the San Diego Regional Center. The Nolan Avenue campus serves 171 individuals across its adult-development, senior-transition, community-integration, and vocational programs, each governed by individualized service plans reviewed on quarterly assessment cycles.
