SERVICE POLICY

SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES

Tri-Counties Regional Center will support an adult who chooses to live in his or her own home and who, with his or her Planning Team, identifies what supports or services are required to achieve this goal. During this process any supports or services that need to be purchased or arranged will be identified. Tri-Counties Regional Center may purchase such supports or services for an individual if certain criteria are met as defined in service policy guidelines.

Supported living services and supports will include a combination of natural supports to ensure the individual is safe, healthy, and has opportunities for friendships and personal growth. Housing and support services will be provided by different entities (unless otherwise agreed to by the consumer and the Planning Team, including the Tri-Counties Regional Center), so that an individual’s home cannot be jeopardized by any change in his or her choice of, or relationship to, a supported living service provider.
