Receiving SLS Services

What Are Supported Living Services (SLS)?

​

Supported Living Services (SLS) are designed to support adults with developmental disabilities who want to live in their own home while receiving ongoing assistance tailored to their individual needs.

​

Unlike ILS, SLS provides a higher level of support and supervision. Services are highly individualized and can range from a few hours of support each week to 24-hour care depending on the person’s needs and goals.

​

SLS focuses on helping individuals:

  • Live safely in their own home

  • Build independence

  • Maintain stability

  • Participate in their community

  • Make personal choices

  • Develop life skills while receiving ongoing support

​

Services are funded through Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB) and are based on assessed support needs, health and safety concerns, and long-term independence goals.
