What are Supported Living Supports?

Who is eligible for Supported Living Supports?
Eligibility varies by location and funding sources, but typically includes adults with developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, or other needs that require some level of assistance. Contact A Different World to learn about specific criteria and program availability in Virginia.
How do Supported Living Supports differ from other residential programs?
Unlike group homes or institutional settings, Supported Living Supports focus on providing individualized assistance within a person’s own residence or chosen living environment. This approach emphasizes autonomy and community engagement while still offering professional support.
Are Supported Living Supports covered by Medicaid or insurance?
Coverage can depend on factors such as Medicaid waiver programs, private insurance policies, and state-specific funding options. We recommend reaching out to our team or consulting your insurance provider to determine your eligibility and available coverage.

Services can include assistance with cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, budgeting, medication management, transportation, and more. The goal is to empower individuals to build skills and confidence in their everyday routines.
Does A Different World offer 24/7 assistance for Supported Living?
