Program accomplishments

• THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMUNITY-BASED SUPPORTS (RCBS) PROGRAM SUPPORTS CLIENTS ON THEIR INDEPENDENCE JOURNEY, OFFERING CLIENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE ON THEIR OWN WITH THE SUPPORT OF JESPY'S TEAM OF CASE MANAGERS AND DAILY LIVING SKILLS (DLS) COUNSELORS. NEW RESIDENTIAL CLIENTS (USUALLY YOUNG ADULTS) START OUT IN "THE RESIDENCE", A SUPERVISED APARTMENT SETTING WITH 24/7 SUPPORT. THE RESIDENCE OFFERS OUR CLIENTS THEIR FIRST TASTE OF WHAT IT IS LIKE TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY. EACH CLIENT HAS HIS OR HER OWN BEDROOM AND SHARES THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE APARTMENT WITH THEIR ROOMMATES. OUR DEDICATED TEAM TEACHES OUR CLIENTS TO CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR APARTMENTS, HOW TO BE SAFE IN THE COMMUNITY, HOW TO GROCERY SHOP, PREPARE MEALS, MANAGE MONEY, PAY BILLS, AND DO CHORES. MOST CLIENTS SPEND 2-4 YEARS IN THE RESIDENCE, AND WHEN THEY HAVE MASTERED THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO LIVE MORE INDEPENDENTLY, THEY MOVE TO ONE OF OUR FIVE SHARED HOUSES, WHICH OFFERS A HOME-LIKE SETTING WITH ROOMMATES UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A CASE MANAGER, OR TO INDEPENDENT APARTMENTS OR CONDOMINIUMS (NOT JESPY OWNED) IN THE COMMUNITY WITH SUPPORTS FROM JESPY STAFF.JESPY'S FIVE SHARED HOUSES ARE LOCATED WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO JESPY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
