Building a Legacy of Support

Founded in 1994 by Eva Dunning, Connecting Ties, Inc. began as a response to the closure of Harborview Developmental Center. With a passion for filling service gaps, Eva laid the foundation for what would become one of Valdez’s largest employers and most trusted care agencies. Starting with vocational services through the Second Time Around store, we expanded to include care coordination and a broad array of support services.

Expanding Care Across the Region

From our humble roots, we now serve a wide area—from Tok to Eureka and Cordova—with offices in Valdez and Tazlina. We continue to adapt, grow, and respond to the needs of our communities. Connecting Ties, Inc. proudly provides:

  • Services from birth through aging
  • A cooperative network of agencies
  • A growing legacy of over 20 years
