Terry Home is Expanding!
Terry Home’s Mission is to promote purpose, privacy, and independence for each person in a comfortable, home-like atmosphere.
We’re excited to announce a third location near our Pacific property, where we’ve acquired land and a house.
Terry Home’s story began in 1984 with a mother’s unwavering resolve to find a suitable home for her then 18-year-old son affected by TBI. This personal mission evolved into a community effort, culminating in the opening of Terry Home in 1996. Our history is a testament to the power of community, perseverance, and the belief that every individual deserves a place to call home.
Behind it, we plan to build a new facility offering independent living options for TBI survivors, featuring six units with a shared common area. We’ve secured consulting help to aid in funding this venture.
This property will be named in honor of Royce Thomas, a longtime friend and supporter since our first home opened in 1996. Royce wanted Terry Home to have the first chance to buy his land, and we’re making his wish a reality.
How You Can Help
You can support this important project by attending our “There’s Hope Inside” Spring Fling Dinner/Auction on March 21, 2026! Proceeds from the event will help fund the development of our new facility, creating more opportunities for TBI survivors to live independently.
We’re also seeking skilled volunteers—electricians, contractors—as well as financial donations to support this project. If you can help or would like more information, please contact us and share a little about yourself—we’d love to hear from you!
