Supported Living
Supported Living is a residential service model that provides individualized, drop-in supports to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who live in their own homes. Unlike a traditional group home (Community Living Arrangement), where a provider owns or leases the property and staffs it 24/7, Supported Living ensures that the participant holds the lease to their home and maintains control over their living arrangement. Professionally trained staff come to the participant's home on a customized, flexible schedule to promote maximum independence and community inclusion.
