    Expenses $1,149,695
  • INDEPENDENT AND SUPPORTED LIVING PROGRAMS - CLAUSEN HOUSE'S INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES (ILS) AND SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES (SLS) ARE PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES TO LIVE AS INDEPENDENTLY AS POSSIBLE IN THEIR OWN HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY. IN BOTH ILS AND SLS, CLIENTS ARE GIVEN TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE WITH ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS INCLUDING MONEY MANAGEMENT, NUTRITION, HOUSING AND BENEFITS ISSUES, MEDICAL SELF-MANAGEMENT, AND MORE. INDEPENDENT AND SUPPORTED LIVING ARE VERY SIMILAR. THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE VOLUME AND TYPE OF SERVICE PROVIDED. INDEPENDENT LIVING MAY PROVIDE UP TO 40 HOURS PER MONTH OF TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE AND THE NEED FOR SERVICES ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH TO APPROXIMATELY 15 HOURS PER MONTH. IN SUPPORTED LIVING, THE CLIENT MAY OBTAIN A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER NUMBER OF HOURS OF SUPPORT AND INSTRUCTION AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY ASSUME A DECREASE IN SERVICE VOLUME OVER TIME. SINCE 1977, CLAUSEN HOUSE HAS PROVIDED INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES TO PEOPLE LIVING IN COMMUNITY-BASED APARTMENTS. OUR LENOX APARTMENT BUILDING CAN ACCOMMODATE ADULTS WHO ARE TRANSITIONING FROM THEIR FAMILY OR GROUP HOME INTO GREATER INDEPENDENCE. SINCE 1993, CLAUSEN HOUSE HAS BEEN VENDORIZED BY THE REGIONAL CENTER OF THE EAST BAY (RCEB) TO PROVIDE SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES.
    Expenses $598,527
  • SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM - ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING WAYS FOR PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENT DISABILITIES IS TO ACHIEVE FULL INCLUSION IN THE COMMUNITY. CLAUSEN HOUSE HELPS CLIENTS CHOOSE, OBTAIN, AND RETAIN INTEGRATED EMPLOYMENT IN A VARIETY OF WORKPLACES. WE PROVIDE SITUATIONAL ASSESSMENTS, JOB DEVELOPMENT AND PLACEMENT, AND ONGOING TRAINING OR COACHING TAILORED TO THE INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS. DEPENDING ON THE CLIENT'S SKILL SET AND READINESS FOR WORK, HE OR SHE MAY BE PLACED IN A GROUP THAT IS CLOSELY SUPERVISED BY A TRAINER, OR MAY RECEIVE AN INDIVIDUAL PLACEMENT WITH JOB COACHING SUITED TO HIS OR HER NEEDS. OUR JOB COACHES WORK CLOSELY WITH EMPLOYERS TO IDENTIFY AND RESOLVE ANY ISSUES THAT MAY AFFECT JOB PERFORMANCE RESULTING IN LOYAL, MOTIVATED EMPLOYEES WITH LOW TURNOVER AND A HIGH LEVEL OF JOB SATISFACTION. CLAUSEN HOUSE'S SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT PARTNERS ARE VERY PLEASED WITH OUR CLIENTS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED BY THE SAME EMPLOYER FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
    Expenses $526,384
  • ADULT EDUCATION & ACTIVITY PROGRAM - CLAUSEN HOUSE OFFERS CLASSES FOR PEOPLE WITH A RANGE OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WITH THE GOAL TO CHALLENGE STUDENTS INTELLECTUALLY, STIMULATE THEIR CREATIVITY, AND HELP THEM MAXIMIZE THEIR FUNCTIONAL LEVEL.

STUDENTS ENTERING THE PROGRAM MAY HAVE LIMITATIONS IN SPOKEN AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATION, INTERPERSONAL SKILLS, ACCESSING THE COMMUNITY, TASK COMPLETION, MONEY MANAGEMENT, SELF-CARE, OR THE ABILITY TO PURSUE LEISURE ACTIVITIES. ALL INSTRUCTORS HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER, AND THE INSTRUCTOR-TO-STUDENT RATIO IS 1:7.
