History
In 1971 the Utah Association of Rehabilitation Facilities was developed to assist rehab providers in organizing around the issues that faced community rehab organizations. In 1983 the Community Residential Providers Association was formed to assist primarily residential businesses in addressing their needs. In the late 1980s the two provider organizations came together and formed our current member organization, the Utah Association of Community Services.
