We tailor our menu of Supportive Services to the client’s individual needs of supports.Our clients are expected to be working and or attending school within a reasonable timeframe the professionals working with the client deem as appropriate. We run our residential programs out of a large house with a co-ed college dorm setting which can accommodate eight clients at a time, each in their private bedroom. Because our programs are year-round the applicant may join our community once the application process has been completed and approved.
