For more than 50 years, Systems Unlimited has built a reputation as a caring, diverse, friendly, and committed non-profit social service agency and employer. There’s a reason you feel the love when you engage with Systems.
We have grown and evolved through the years, serving hundreds of people of all ages with disabilities and mental health needs in Eastern Iowa. But what’s even more amazing is how personalized and individualized the care is for each person who interacts with our organization. We’re passionate about ensuring you and your loved one can live as happy, healthy, and independently as possible.
Employment Systems services provide day habilitation programs in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and Monticello. Through this program, people served can build relationships with others, explore self-expression through art, volunteerism and visiting area attractions. We also help people we serve to seek jobs in the community and provide any needed support for those individuals to maintain their jobs.
Systems Unlimited provides Supported Living where people with disabilities live in homes with two to three other people we serve or may live independently in their own home or apartment. As a team, we support the person served to achieve their goals, provide support when necessary, and work with the person to become as independent as possible.
Our Behavioral Health Solutions team includes licensed ABA therapists, behavioral support professionals and Medical Care Coordinators. This committed team of clinical professionals are here to provide support to our staff and community members to ensure that people we serve receive innovative services to overcome life challenges.

More than 50 years ago, many adults and children with disabilities had few options for support services. That’s what inspired a group of Eastern Iowa parents to come together to try to solve this problem.
In 1971, this group of parents approached the Johnson County Board of Supervisors at a meeting. They proposed a new service model in which children were a part of the local community and would be supervised by live-in staff. With a one-vote advantage, Systems Unlimited opened its first home for children in Iowa City.
Our mission to provide individualized care and promote independence continue to drive our services today.
Make a gift to Systems Unlimited to advance our mission of helping people with disabilities become more independent and achieve personal success.
