Balancing support and independence for people with disabilities
What can we offer?
A Place to Call Home
A home of one’s own is the bedrock of independence. We offer safe, quality, affordable housing across Minnesota.
Individualized Care Plans
Every person is unique, which is why we never use a one-size-fits-all approach. All supportive services and care planning decisions balance the unique needs of the individual and their rights, values, and personal lifestyles.
