An organization in Raleigh that serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities like autism and down syndrome has unveiled a $5.2 million residential facility.

TLC’s facility was funded by donations, Wake County, and the city of Raleigh. The total cost of the project including renovations at its other two existing facilities is $9.8 million.

The company’s CEO Sarah Crawford said there are more than 18,000 people on an Innovation Waiver waitlist, which is a federally approved list for those who need long-term care services like the ones TLC provides.
