•UNITY Community Center envisions a community of families with a support system for all persons from infants to elderly to develop their maximum potential emotionally, intellectually, and socially. We envision this support system to be comprised of families, employers, and neighborhoods that encourage self-help and mutual support. We envision a community of human service agencies ready to intervene if self help measures, the family, and the community are not sufficient to solve the problems of the families being served.
