About the Organization OHI is a Maine-based, public nonprofit organization providing supports and services to people with intellectual disabilities, autism, and mental illness for over 43 years. With offices in the greater Bangor area, specifically in the towns of Bangor and Brewer, OHI currently supports about 400 people in six Maine counties.

OHI also provides permanent housing in Bangor and Brewer for adults with disabilities, and professional development training for people, including family members, caregivers and support workers.

We believe everyone can be successful and happy with the right quality of supports and the right combination of services. We must value the unlimited possibilities of everyone's potential to learn, develop and grow. Our eight values associated with our philosophy capture the essence of our organization and employees.
