I hate to say it, but in these cases how often does “nonprofit” translate to funneling money to nonprofit offices and bureaucrats?
My brother is mentally retarded (the old non-PC term), and despite the fact that he expresses a desire to join the workforce, his limitations would never make it possible, even for a fast food job.
So my suspicion is, organizations like this might get paid $XXXX dollars per head to try to find him a job he can't do, or a simple job that he could find without their help.

in my home town the regional center provides work for these types of individuals. are parks are cleaned up by them but generally you have a work crew of 4 disabled and one person of normal intelligence overseeing the work. the disabled seem to do a good job cleaning the park but the job they do is only as good as the person in charge. I do think they are having 5 people do a job that takes two to do.
