About the Program
Supported living allows people with disabilities to live where and with whom they want, for as long as they want, with the ongoing support needed to sustain that choice. DSI understands that each individual is unique and therefore designs its Supported Living program to meet individual goals. As goals change, the level and type of support can also be changed to best match the resident's needs.
This client priority-based approach helps ensure that residents are fulfilled and happy in their living situations. Our staff assists these individuals to become as independent as possible. Many, in fact, live in their own home.
We assist individuals with:
Finances
Personal budgeting and banking, including the use of checking and savings accounts and bill paying
Housing

In addition, the Supported Living program also employs a Director, Assistant Director, Waiver Quality Assurance Coordinator, 3 QIDPs, 3 Staff Supervisors, a Clerical Assistant, and a Financial Eligibility Specialist to provide support for persons served.
