RESOURCES FOR
COMMUNITY LIVING
Exhibit
AcC. editation with Distinction
from The Council (2000 - 2005)
To offer adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities opportunities to achieve greater self-
~ esteem, dignity and participation in all aspects of community life through affordable housing
options, individualized skill instruction and necessary support services.
In keeping with the above Mission Statement, Resources for Community Living (RCL) offers innovative services to
increase the independence as well as the quality of life for adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities.
These services may include:
Affordable Housing - Using both the shared housing approach and independent apa~i~,ents, RCL helps people with
mental retardation to locate and lease homes and apmi~,,ents within the community. Because these housing
-arrangements are not owned by RCL (each participant signs his/her own lease), participants have greater control over
their own lives. Housing arrangements through RCL are not group-oriented; therefore the stigma that is often
associated with group homes and other congregate living arrangements is non-existent. In fact, the individual's new
neighbors may not even know that the RCL participant has a disability.
Homeownership Program - Homenwnership is a dream for many people, including those with disabilities. We
believe that in general, home. ownership fosters greater connection and mutual investment between our participant
homeowners and their respective communities. RCL assists participants through the goal setting process and planning
phases of homeownership. In addition, to help make homeownership a financial feasibility, RCL works with Project
Ground Floor to assist eligible participants seeare a forgivable second mortgage.
Individualized Support Services - Trained staff members provide individualized skill instruction and support
services that are designed to increase independence, allowing participants to remain in their community. These
support services may include case management, instruction in money management, the use of public transportation,
cooking, nutrition, safety and other necessary skills. RCL also provides assistance in linking participants with other
oommunity members, resources and activities to help them to become active and contributing members of their
COlm'm]nitics.
Social Group - Loneliness and isolation remain a significant problem for people with mental retardation, despite their
physical presence in the community. Bemuse of this, RCL also coordinates a monthly social group that provides an
opportunity for RCL participants to meet others and make new friends. These groups also provide an opportunity for
staff members to observe the individual's social interaction skills, so that skill training (e.g. communication, trust
building, assertiveness, interpersonal skills etc.) can be tailored to individual needs. In addition, several times each
year speakers are asked to present information during social groups on various subject including safety, recreation and
other important issues.
Rent Subsidy - Finally, because many participants lack sufficient resources to provide for themselves, RCL offers a
rent subsidy. These rent subsidies are limited to $150 per month based on the individual's income and are derived
entirely from donations. Because of this, rent subsidies are not always available and cannot be relied on as a source of
support. To provide an increasingly stable and reliable future, RCL Caseworkers assist participants in planning and
linkage with long-term sources of financial support, including Section 8 Rental Assistance.
