The H.E.A.R.T. Program was founded to create new opportunities for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) to achieve their potential.

The H.E.A.R.T. Program therefore embraces its mission to promote structured independence for individuals with developmental disabilities by providing innovative education, training, housing and employment programs.

The H.E.A.R.T. Program has provided job training and placement for hundreds of adults with I/DD.  H.E.A.R.T. and its trainees also operate over 80 vending machines in the Houston area as well as as over 150 concession events annually including Rockets games, Texans games. and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.  In addition, H.E.A.R.T. provides the training and guidance necessary for trainees to work at all of these enterprises and earn paychecks at minimum wage or higher.

In this time of COVID, The H.E.A.R.T. Program has continued to pay its trainees even through the cancellation of many of the local events.
