Community Living Supports (CLS) helps adults with disabilities live independently in their own apartments or with family members or significant others in the community. The CLS program offers varying levels of intensity, allowing consumers to transition to a less intensive level of service depending on their needs. The CLS program includes skills training, counseling and emotional support, and assistance accessing public benefits and community based services.

Preparing for Independence (PFI) helps people with disabilities acquire the skills they need to live on their own or in a supported living environment. PFI consumers work with personal coaches and in small group settings to master a variety of skills from menu planning and meal preparation to managing medications to laundry and housekeeping.

Personal Affairs Management (PAM) offers assistance with budgeting and bill paying for adults with disabilities who live on their own in the community or with family. Areas of assistance include organizing financial records, creating a household budget, controlling expenses, submitting insurance claims, and assessing eligibility for government benefits.
