Community Living Arrangement is a licensed group home within the community providing 24-hour support to individuals with developmental disabilities.

As a non-licensed residential option; the IHS model offers less than 24-hour support to individuals with developmental disabilities. This provides an opportunity for independent living in a less restrictive residential setting. The focus of this program is to increase independence at home and in the community. Also, in-home family supports are designed to assist individuals living at home with their families. Services such as community outings, doctor’s appointments, and recreational activities are offered to the families.

The CRS is a non-licensed 24 hour setting that provides individuals an opportunity to maximize their independence. This option provides for one, two or three individuals to share an apartment or home and integrate into the community.

Community Companion Homes are families or individuals licensed by the Department of Developmental Services to share their home and provide support for individuals with developmental disabilities. Community Companion Homes provide a more family-oriented living environment than a Community Living Arrangement (CLA) and offer a viable residential option.
