Chimes, one of the mid-Atlantic’s leading and largest providers of services and support for people with disabilities and mental health challenges, recently announced the acquisition of Career Support Systems, LLC. Chimes also recently acquired Family Focus, LLC, a Virginia-based provider of mental health support services.

Supported employment for people with disabilities and barriers to independent employment is one of Chimes core service areas, as is mental health support. By adding these two organizations to the Chimes Family of Services, the organization expands its geographic reach into central and northern Virginia. The agreement also allows Chimes to expand the total number of people it serves in the area of employment services and mental health support.

“Chimes is a large, stable, well-known service provider on the East Coast and we are honored to become part of the team,” said Lance Elwood, co-founder of Career Support Systems. “We look forward to carrying on and expand our mission and impact for years to come.”
Based in Baltimore, Chimes 3,500 team members serve more than 26,000 people throughout the region with disabilities and mental health challenges. In addition to employment services, Chimes operates a special education school and provides day programs and community living options for people with disabilities.
