Historical PerspectiveBoley was founded in 1970 as a 20-bed halfway

chosen as one of three sites in the State to develop a “deinstitutionalization project.”

In 1984, Boley purchased its first residential facility.
By 1994, all residential facilities had been converted from rental to agency-owned.

Also in 1988, Boley opened its first HUD 811 funded project - Bessie Boley and Ruth Mosher Apartments. Ten more followed, Two more are pending construction, and one was just awarded.
