Albertina Kerr To Close Lane County Developmental Disability Programs

A Portland-based agency announced today it is closing all of its Lane County programs serving people with developmental disabilities.

Albertina Kerr operates 8 group homes in Lane County and provides community inclusion programs.

In a statement, Albertina Kerr CEO Chris Krenk said it is difficult to operate the programs from the Portland headquarters. He added it is hard to recruit and retain staff, and funding issues have increased fiscal challenges.

Albertina Kerr says it is working with Lane County and the state to make transition plans for its clients and employees. The agency did not indicate how many people will be affected.
