Community Living Supports
The objective of Community Living Supports is to assist individuals with developmental disabilities to live in a home of their choice. Community Living Supports are home living supports provided in a wide range of settings to assist individuals to live as independently as they choose.

People should have the opportunity to create a home of their own that mirrors their lifestyle and identity. People live in homes they choose (lease, rent or own) with or without others as they choose and in places where they are able to exert ordinary measures of personal control.



Overnight Staffed Residence
A home in which an individual with a developmental disability lives with staffing provided overnight. It typically involves individuals with developmental disabilities living together and sharing supports.



Support Home

Supported Independent Living
Flexible supports are provided to an individual with a developmental disability who lives to his/her own house with no overnight paid support.
