This program provides rent-geared-to-income accommodation and supports to adults living with ABI requiring various levels of physical, cognitive, and behavioral support. Tenants reside in their own apartments and share a communal kitchen with other tenants. The goal of the program is to assist tenants with activities of daily living (ADL’s & IADL’s) and other individual goals so that they can maintain their housing and lead productive lives within the community. The Collegeview team supports the program every day, 24hrs 7 days a week.
