COMMUNITY OPTIONS BELIEVES IN THE DIGNITY OF EVERY PERSON, AND IN THE FREEDOM OF ALL PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF SELF-DETERMINATION. EMBRACING THIS PHILOSOPHY, COMMUNITY OPTIONS PROVIDES HOUSING, SUPPORT SERVICES, AND ADVOCACY ASSISTANCE TO HELP EMPOWER PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. COMMUNITY OPTIONS, INC. DEVELOPS RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORTS FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE DISABILITIES, UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY AND TRAINING. AS A NATIONAL AGENCY, COMMUNITY OPTIONS HAS PARTICIPATED IN INSTITUTIONAL CLOSURE AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL PLACEMENT FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS SEVERAL STATES.

IN ITS HISTORY, THE AGENCY HAS DEVELOPED A REPUTATION FOR QUALITY, COST-EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION THAT ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUAL CHOICE AND FLEXIBILITY.
