Community Based Residential Service Options

Individuals receiving residential services may live in a variety of different settings depending on their needs and preferences. Individuals interested in obtaining community-based residential services, as well as those currently being supported are encouraged to visit a variety of Authorized Providers and ask questions, so that they can ensure that they are receiving services from the agency best prepared to meet their needs. Some of these settings may include:

Supported Living: for individuals living in the community who request/require less than 12 hours of support per day
Supervised Apartments: for individuals who need more than 12, but less than 24 hours of support per day in an apartment setting
