Residential Options include:

• Group Homes with different staffing levels to meet the needs of the individuals living there. Generally staffed at a high level, often with staffing 24 hours per day.
• Supported Individualized Living (SIL) where individuals are supported in smaller settings with staffing support up to 20 hours per week, depending on individual need. More independence is needed for Supported Individualized Living.
• Supportive Homeshare where support is provided in a family home of an unrelated caregiver. It is similar to a boarder relationship.
• Individualized Funding is a ministry initiative that happens infrequently. Agencies are notified and families need to complete a Proposal in partnership with one of the 32 agencies to apply for this funding.

How to Apply
You must have a Lead Agency to register for Residential Supports. Your Lead Agency can put you on the waitlist for Residential Supports. Priority status is assigned based on a number of factors including age and health of caregiver. The decision to put someone on the Community Needs List is determined by the Individual/Family’s need combined with the professional judgment of the lead agency.
