Community Living Arrangements (CLA)

Community Living Arrangements (CLA) provides a warm, comfortable, and supportive environment for individuals who need round-the-clock care. These group home settings enable residents to live happily within the community while receiving the assistance they need in all aspects of daily living.

What CLA Offers:

  • 24/7 Supervision
  • Daily Living Support
  • Medical Oversight
  • Affordable Living

How It Works:

  1. Room and board rates are determined by the Department of Social Services.
  2. Individuals pay these rates using their Social Security entitlements.
  3. If entitlements fall short, a supplemental check may be provided by DDS.

*All referrals for our programs come from the Department of Developmental Services.
