Goldensun

We exist to promote the physical, social and spiritual wellbeing of adults with developmental disabilities. We provide a living environment that encourages a better quality of life for our community members, strengthens the family and encourages congregational and community support.

Goldensun Peace Ministries, located in Glendale, Arizona is a faith-based community with a mission for serving adults with developmental disabilities capable of living independently with the support of services and staff assistance. Goldensun is licensed through the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES)/Division of Developmental Disabilities as a provider of Individually Designed Living Arrangements. Currently, Goldensun operates five homes serving 15 members, with a sixth
home ready to open. Each member of our community shares a home with one to three other adults with developmental disabilities, while enjoying his or her own private room. Living in close proximity to each other, members can share the use of vehicles, and enjoy life together, much like a college community. A typical week for our members includes outings to bowling, Special Olympics, CCV Church Services and dinner, birthday parties or barbeques, sharing in movie and popcorn night and more.

This vibrant lifestyle is possible because of generous donations that allow spacious, comfortable homes to be purchased or leased in the same neighborhood, vans to be purchased, fueled and maintained, pools to be maintained, and overall management of this community to be funded beyond State funding for direct care staffing.

Goldensun serves adults with developmental disabilities who desire a supportive, long-term living arrangement that enhances their spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being through a community concept. Residency is open to applicants regardless of socioeconomic level, race,
gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or national origin.
