  Services: The Institute for Community Living (ICL) enables hundreds of adults who live alone, with roommates, or with their families to maintain as independent a lifestyle as possible. ICL’s case management staff works with consumers in these programs to personalize the level of support they need. While all supportive apartments serve adults with mental illness, many are designed to accommodate individuals having particular needs (e.g. children, histories of substance abuse, and homelessness). Case managers visit the apartments on a regular basis to assist consumers in evaluating how they are adapting to the community and develop service plans collaboratively with them. Case managers are on-call around the clock.
