Description:

Community Development Services provide an alternative to facility-based Traditional Day Habilitation services, and focused on clients currently unable to work as a consequence of their disability, age or unique circumstances. Services provides individuals with opportunities to engage in community based activities that support building social connections (capital), socialization, life-long learning, recreation, and personal development for the purpose of:

• Building and strengthening relationships with others in the local community who are not paid to be with the individual; and
• Learning, practicing, and applying skills that promote greater independence and inclusion in their community.

Community Development Services can also be used as supports for individuals as a retirement support based on the aging process.
