Empowering independence and community integration
The Adult Supportive Living Program provides in-home and community-based supports to over 70 people with a variety of disabilities. The types of supports provided are based upon the person’s needs and desires. The frequency of supports ranges from 6 hours per week to 24 hours per day, depending on the significance of the individual’s disability.

Collaboration and Planning
UCPRI works closely with the individual, their families, and the Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals (BHDDH) to ensure a safe, active, and enriching life for the people they support.
