Supported Living
Who?
Supported living services are individually tailored arrangements of resources and supports that enable people to live in more integrated and normal ways. Supported living might address the need for residential services, work services, transportation services or whatever combination of services an individual may require as identified through individualized assessment and the combination of resources available to meet identified needs. Currently, 553 Montanans receive supported living services.
What?
One example of a supported living arrangement might be a person who lives in an apartment with another person with a disability; they pool their service dollars in order to fund the supervision and assistance that they both need. In another example, staff visit individuals living in their own apartments as needed on evenings and weekends to provide assistance in living skills such as menu planning and money management. The key feature of supported living is the fact that the type of service provided is based on the individual’s strengths, needs, and preferences, not on a preconceived model of service.
