Home Choices

MORC enables family members with disabilities to remain in the family home by providing funding for in-home staff, respite care, home modifications, adaptive equipment, parenting training, shared parenting, and family counseling.

For individuals who do not live with their parents, there are many home choices available:

Personal Residence:
People are assisted to live independently in apartments, condominiums, or houses. Some people may choose to live with another person with a disability or to be supported by a friend without a disability or a family. A person may lease or own his or her home and may not require 24-hour support.

Shared Lives:
A person with a developmental disability is coupled with a person who does not have a disability. Together they live in a house, condominium, or apartment. Oftentimes, the person without a disability was the caregiver in a group home or other setting for the person with a disability.

Home of My Own:
People are provided the opportunity to be homeowners. They work in the community and pay their own mortgages. Some homeowners are able to live by themselves, while others have roommates who pay rent to help with expenses. Individuals receive various levels of in-home support, depending upon need and eligibility.

Foster Care:
MORC foster families provide loving care to individuals wanting a family home.

Group Homes:
MORC supports group homes serving six or fewer people. Each home has 24-hour staff provided by a nonprofit agency.
