About us

A Virginia agency built around the home

DE-Trans, LLC recruits, trains, and supports Residential Sponsors so adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can live where they are known by name.

Our mission

Every person deserves a home, not a placement

We exist to connect adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to committed households across Virginia — and to make sure those households never feel like they are doing it alone.

DE-Trans grew out of years of front-line work in Virginia's disability services system. We saw the same pattern again and again: caring people willing to open their homes, and a process that overwhelmed them before they ever started. So we built an agency around the sponsor — thorough screening and training up front, then real support behind them every day after.

Core values

What we hold to

Safety

Every home is assessed, supported, and monitored so the people we serve are secure.

Dignity

Choice, privacy, and respect are non-negotiable in every household we support.

Family

Placement is a relationship, not a service line. We match for belonging.

Compliance

We hold the regulatory weight so sponsors can focus on the person in front of them.

Community

Life happens outside the house — at church, work, the park, the grocery store.

Service area

Serving the Commonwealth of Virginia

We recruit and support sponsors statewide — from the Richmond metro and Tri-Cities to Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, and Southside. If you live in Virginia and have a safe, stable home, we would like to talk with you.

We coordinate closely with Community Services Boards, support coordinators, and DBHDS standards so placements are appropriate, compliant, and lasting.
