LICENSED COMMUNITY RESIDENCE PROGRAMS

Programs are in congregate (group home) and apartment living settings and provide room, board and supervision. The overall goals of a community residence program are to help an individual learn the necessary skills to live independently in the community and to attain emotional stability. These programs are rehabilitative and transitional. Community residences have a maximum of 24 individuals in any one location. Supported apartments provide the least restrictive living environments with needed daily support at program sites. Services are generally paid for with funding from SSI, SSD, Monroe County Public Assistance and Medicaid. Community residential programs are accessed through the Monroe County Single Point of Access (SPOA) and the application can be found on-line at www.carecoordination.org or by calling SPOA at 753-2879.
