Supportive Housing

Options for Independence (OFI) supports adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) housing.

At our semi-independent residence (SIR), we offer safe, supportive housing for adults with FASD who are 19 years or older and diagnosed or suspected to have FASD. Our residents may not need 24/7 group home care, but rather support to live semi-independently in areas such as money management, public transportation, household maintenance, food preparation, and healthy life style and relationship planning. At SIR, we support 14 individuals.
