The People We Serve
First Step Supported Living Services (FSSLS) provides services to adults over
the age of 18 who have developmental disabilities. Our agency's
focus is to provide services for individuals who have been under-served in the
past.
It is the goal of
FSSLS to provide excellent supported living services to persons with multiple
and severe disabilities. In the past, for these individuals, living in their
own homes in their own communities was not an option. These adults were
usually served in group homes, nursing homes, or other large congregate living
situations.

We currently
provide supported living services for 19 individuals, both males and
females, who range in age from 18-32 years old. All of the people we serve
have severe and profound disabilities, most with dual diagnosis including
significant mental health disabilities. In addition, several of our
consumers are Deaf or hearing impaired and require the use of American Sign
Language to communicate.
