Frequently asked questions
Where do supported persons live?
Settings vary based on each person's needs and preferences — some live in homes shared with one or two others, some in their own apartments. The home is the person's, not an institution.
How is staffing handled?
Staffing levels are tailored to the individual's plan. Some people need 24-hour support; others need scheduled hours of help with specific tasks.
Can the person choose their housemates?
Yes. Compatibility and choice are central to how households are formed.
