Resources for Human Development will expand into its 14th state with the opening of a new program in Nebraska.
“We’re very excited for the opportunity to bring RHD’s caring, effective and innovative approach to human services to the great state of Nebraska,’’ RHD CEO Bob Fishman said. “We’re proud that our long history of individualized, quality service in caring for people continues to result in growth and expansion for RHD that enables us to serve more people.”
Resources for Human Development serves tens of thousands of people of all abilities every year with caring, effective and innovative programs addressing intellectual and developmental disabilities, behavioral health, homelessness, addiction recovery and more.
