OUR MISSION
The One Vision community supports individual choice by providing services that lead to greater purpose and independence.
One Vision: Connecting People with Purpose
One Vision is celebrating its 50th anniversary of providing disability services to North Iowans!
Originally known as Handicap Village, we opened our doors in September 1971. One Vision started out as a campus of 10 cottages in Clear Lake, Iowa, and was designed to provide supports for 160 people with disabilities. We now serve approximately 410 people across 30 communities in North Iowa.
What is our vision? To inspire meaningful lives by connecting people with purpose, whether that purpose is obtaining a job in their community, finding a home that meets their needs and wants, or supporting their personal interests.
One Vision is a human services nonprofit organization that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Incorporated in 1966, we first opened our doors in 1971. Opportunity Village is now One Vision.

Elaine says she never dreamed about moving to Clear Lake, but now is so happy she did. As her home in Glenwood started to need a lot of upkeep and work done to it, and Lisa was traveling the 8 hours to help her, Lisa and her siblings started to look at other options. Lisa said her mom was not the one needing care or assistance, as she was independent, but it was her house that was needing a lot of attention.
We are delighted to announce Jennifer Bauer has rejoined our organization as Chief Operating Officer as of April 5, 2021. With over 20 years of experience working with people of all ages who experience a range of disabilities, she will oversee OV’s Disability Services
