The forms are reviewed and kept on file to assure the abstention from voting for any item relating to the conflict of an officer, director, or key employee.”

Our mission comes to life through four core service areas: community living, children & family services, employment services, and property management.

“Community living - epi empowers people to live meaningful lives by promoting community engagement and ensuring that everyone feels valued and included in their communities. In 2025, we achieved a significant milestone: we helped a young man return to his home state of iowa, transitioning from an institutional setting into his own home. This was made possible through a combination of in-person and virtual direct support professionals (dsps). Since making this move, his quality of life has improved dramatically - incidents of elopement and emergency department visits have decreased, reflecting the positive impact of person-centered support and community integration. Currently, 100% of epi-owned homes utilize these innovative solutions, fostering independence and growth every day.”

“Property management - our property management ensures that individuals have safe, accessible housing where they can thrive. Epi currently provides housing for 252 individuals across 132 homes in the cedar valley.
