Supported Living Services (SLS) are designed to help adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities live independently and safely in their own homes. Instead of living in a group home or institutional setting, individuals receive personalized in-home support based on their needs, goals, and daily routines.

Who Are Supported Living Services For?

SLS is for adults 18 years or older who have an intellectual or developmental disability and want to live in an apartment, shared home, or family home with individualized support.

Each person works with their Regional Center—such as VMRC, NBRC, or SARC—to determine what level of support they need. Services are flexible and built around the person’s lifestyle, preferences, and long-term goals.

What Does Supported Living Include?

Supported Living Services may include:

• Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming)

• Daily living support (cooking, cleaning, laundry)

• Budgeting and money management

• Medication reminders

• Community participation and transportation

• Safety planning and emergency response

• Help maintaining stable housing

• Support with communication and decision-making
  

The goal is maximum independence with the right level of assistance.

Why Supported Living Matters

SLS empowers people with disabilities by giving them:

• Choice in where and how they live

• Independence while still receiving needed help

• Privacy and a home environment they control

• Opportunities to participate in their community

• Stability and consistent support
  

It’s a highly person-centered service model designed to fit each unique individual.
