Community Services

Individual Support Services
Arranges financial assistance for individuals with disabilities in the form of a rent subsidy to enable their independent living and prepare them for progressive autonomy.
Medicaid Service Coordination
CWI’s dedicated service coordinators are often the cornerstone of information to the individuals we serve and their families. Coordinators work with key staff to identify appropriate programs and services and advocate for individuals and their families for access to county, state, federal, private and custom assistance. A coordinator links and refers individuals to day and residential opportunities, in-home care, clinic services, employment, education and home modifications to accommodate individual challenges. Coordinators visit the home, workplace or educational setting of an individual for insights into their daily life and monitor for health, safety and satisfaction with services. Coordinators often develop long-term relationships with individuals and their families as they plan for the future and discuss strategies for addressing life’s challenges.

Respite Services
This is a service provided to primary family caregivers of individuals with a developmental disability who reside at home.
