Housing services are designed to assist people with disabilities moving from nursing homes and state institutions, or who are living with family members and are on waiting lists for community placement, to find housing in the community. Community Options also provides supports for people living at home with their families or residing in their own homes.
Employment services focus on individual competitive jobs, community volunteer placements and employment opportunities in a variety of entrepreneurial businesses.
