History of Flathead Industries    

What started as a recycling business venture to employ eight displaced men during the exodus from the Boulder River School and Hospital, has developed into a multi-faceted, non-profit corporation, providing community inclusion and integration services to a wide spectrum of individuals. With the philosophical belief that all individuals have the right to live, work and recreate in their own community, the Flathead Valley Community has been instrumental in fostering our ability to provide group home living, supported living, supported employment services, as well as in-house work opportunities.

Through our Career Connection Department, assistance is provided to individuals in assessing their job interests and abilities. Opportunities are provided for Community Based Assessments for individuals to determine if a particular job or place of employment is right for them, and supports are put in place to assist individuals maintain employment in the community.

We maintain contracts with Developmental Disabilities Program the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program and the Veteran’s Administration. In addition, Flathead Industries has Management Contracts in place with Achievements, Inc., in Libby, MT as well as Little Bitterroot Services in Plains, MT.
