Who We Serve

Our program and services are built to support people who experience an intellectual or developmental disability and have the ability to live independently with the support of a case manager, DSP, PSW or other support team members.

Please note: Individuals who require a high level of direct supervision, medical support, are best supported with behavioral interventions, and generally require a higher level of service than is available in independent living units will need to find other housing options. Our program can assist by answering questions but may not have housing solutions available.
