East Bay Innovations – Supported Living Services (SLS) – On‑Call Direct Support Professional – Emergency Cellphone Responder (E‑Cell)

Established in 1994, East Bay Innovations (EBI) is a nonprofit human services organization that supports people with developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, autism, and cerebral palsy. Our person‑centered services support people to live in their own homes, make choices about how they live, work in jobs of their choosing, and enjoy being part of their communities. We seek to further the human rights and empowerment of people with disabilities, and hire people who care about social justice and want to make a difference in the lives of others.

EBI has been named a winner of San Francisco Chronicle’s Top Workplaces Award for 2023, 2024, and 2025!
