bulletThe Arc of San Diego's Community Living Services administers 13 homes specifically designed to meet the housing needs of people with developmental disabilities.

Residences are licensed by the State Department of Health Services and funded by Medi-Cal and San Diego Regional Center.

In every home there exists the opportunity for growth, individual choice, privacy, dignity, and an enriched quality of life.

Each home is shared by six residents who have a wide range of abilities and needs. As a result of significant personal challenges including complex behaviors and multiple disabilities, some residents may require a high degree of structure and supervision.

Our program offers a warm and supportive environment that instills confidence and responsibility. Home-life revolves around family activities, household chores, and interactions in the neighborhood.

Residents are supported by professionally trained instructors, aides, and house managers who provide round-the-clock care and support. Our staff assist residents with accessing community resources, improving self-awareness, modifying behaviors, and promoting self-advocacy.

bulletThe Arc of San Diego Community Living Services supports people with developmental disabilities in their desire to live on their own and be part of their local communities. Our staff work one-on-one with each individual, maintaining a close and continuing relationship. Our staff provide direction and guidance based on each person's need. Together, we identify resources essential to improving the quality of one's life. This includes paying the rent and bills, cooking healthy meals, and using public transportation to work, the supermarket or recreational outings.
