Supported Community Living

We offer a variety of diverse and stimulating supported living environments for people with differing needs, capabilities and personal goals-within comfortable environment and appropriate settings. We provide the structure and support necessary to ensure the richest possible quality of life.

Supported Community Living

These services are tailored for individuals with developmental or intellectual disability and Brain Injury and other related disabilities.
Support services can range from few hours a week to daily support
These services allow individuals to live with their families or friends or a home of their own choosing in relation to each individual needs.
One of our main focus in serving members is promoting connections to thier community (in addition to helping them build a circle of support) so that the members are able to fully experience all that their community has to offer. To this end we employ counselors with the knowledge of the community to spur these connections.
We also assist members in finding New Housing or Living Arrangements if that is their identified goal or a current need in our three locations of: Johnson, Linn and Polk county.
As one of the challenges for the members receiving services is finding affordable housing opportunities, New Insights has teamed up with local landlords and property managers and developed a network of connections that allow members to find housing from a variety of homes in the neighborhood of their own choosing.
