Although written in 1993, this piece still contains great stories of supported living from California.
Preface
At one point in completing this work, we were overwhelmed by how it could easily go wrong. That is, we could just paint a picture called Supported Living and hope for the best as people tried to reproduce it. Instead, we’ve opted to tell you about a number of patterns of supported living. Patterns that represent unique individuals and how they’ve developed a life pattern that works for them. Sometimes you’ll notice that it includes supported living services and sometimes it does not. What you will notice is that these patterns always include relationships among people in communities all over California.
