Transitioning People with Disabilities from institutional settings to community-based living

At Community Options, Inc., we are dedicated to supporting the transition of individuals with disabilities from institutional settings to community-based living. Over the years, we have championed numerous initiatives and collaborated with various stakeholders to promote deinstitutionalization. Our efforts aim to ensure that people with disabilities have the opportunity to live in inclusive, supportive environments that foster independence and enhance their quality of life.

We have consistently advocated for policy changes, provided resources, and worked closely with state and federal authorities to improve long-term care options. Through our ongoing commitment, we strive to create a more equitable and just society for individuals with disabilities, ensuring their rights and dignity are upheld.
