Philosophy

Making a difference since 1997

Support Systems Inc. began providing adult residential and family support services on May 1, 1997 in Bismarck, ND. We were invited to expand our services to the Grand Forks/Grafton region after the flood of 1997. Support Systems Inc. branched out to the Dickinson region in 1999. Support Systems Inc. has made a difference in the lives of hundreds of people across the state. People have been supported to find and keep new jobs, purchase homes and cars, get married, receive Employee of the Year awards, travel to Hawaii, Las Vegas, Graceland, Black Hills in South Dakota, Disney World, to Minneapolis to cheer for the Twins and the Vikings, testify before the ND Legislature, hold offices on boards, serve on the North Dakota DD Council, win gold in the Socchi Special Olympics in 2014, ski in South Dakota, attend the Medora Musical, and so many more life enriching memories.
