Support Coordination Your Way
Community Connections
Community Resources
We connect individuals and families with community resources that can help them meet their basic needs. Our database includes information on food pantries, housing assistance programs, and other essential services.
Community Support
We assist to help find support networks that provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to connect with others and receive emotional support. They offer a variety of support groups and counseling services to help individuals cope with life's challenges.
Housing Opportunities
Community living is the cornerstone of an independent, integrated life. In support of this, the Division funds rental subsidies for individuals living in provider-managed settings, as well as those renting from private landlords. Individuals who receive a Division rental subsidy are required to contribute a certain amount of their income toward rent. The remaining rent amount – up to a State-established maximum for the county or zip code – is covered by the rental subsidy, which is paid directly to the provider or landlord. The Supportive Housing Connection administers the Division’s rental subsidies.
Division-funded housing subsidies are available to eligible individuals and distributed through the Supportive Housing Connection. To learn more about the program you can view the pre-recorded Housing Subsidy Program webinar. Information and the eligiblity determination form are below:
