Who We Are
About Community Living Alternatives

At Community Living Alternatives (CLA), we believe everyone deserves the chance to thrive — not just be cared for. Since 1979, we’ve walked alongside people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families, creating safe, supportive homes and opportunities to grow.

We’re small by design. By keeping caseloads low and relationships long-lasting, we prioritize quality over quantity so every person we serve is truly seen, valued, and heard.

Our world really does revolve around yours. That means responsive support available around the clock, dedicated staff who stay for the long term, and a commitment to person-centered care that builds trust, stability, and belonging.
