LSSI offers several CILA homes for adults age 18+ with intellectual/developmental disabilities throughout the state. Our goal is to help residents achieve maximum growth and independence in a caring and supportive community setting. LSSI provides residents with structure and supervision, helping them increase self-sufficiency, add to their independent living skills, develop and maintain relationships, and use resources in the community. Recognizing several limitations of our residents, LSSI also insists upon their potential.
