Supported Community Living
Our Supported Community Living program ensures that individuals have personalized assistance to live in a safe and decent home of their own choice while receiving the support they need.
When is a house more than a home?
Individuals in our program may live in their own home or apartment or perhaps with the family. Programs are exceptionally tailored to meet the unique needs of the individuals such as finding a place to live and the money to pay for the living expenses. A plan is developed for each individual, outlining their support needs, as well as specific outcomes expressed by the individual, or evaluated as an area of need/challenge. The plan is then used to help each individual progressively strengthen their individual knowledge, skill and independence.
SCL services may require round the clock 24 hour staffing or minimal meetings with staff per week. This all depends on the unique needs of the person. Services are provided in Polk, Dallas, Warren counties.
