In
2005, we received a 3 year accreditation from CARF, the
highest accreditation level. CARF is an independent, nonprofit
accreditor of human service providers. For

In 2005, we also received accreditation through the Maryland
Association of Nonprofit Organization’s Standards
of Excellence Program. The Maryland Nonprofits Standards
for Excellence Program is designed to promote excellence
and integrity in nonprofit organizations. The program
is based on a code of conduct called the Standards for
Excellence: An Ethics and Accountability Code for the
Nonprofit Sector. The Standards for Excellence program
offers a variety of services to assist nonprofits with
implementing the Standards in order to improve their governance
and management. As part of the Standards certification
program, organizations voluntarily submit to a rigorous
review of all aspects of their operations. Organizations
that pass this review earn the Seal of Excellence. For
