Supported living services are based on a set of principles or expected outcomes that set the service apart from any other service. Supported Living Services' agencies are responsible for securing safe homes and adequate resources for their consumers, providing training to consumers in activities of daily living, general supervision, assistance with household issues, behavioral modification and shaping, etc.  

Enhanced Supported Living Services is a pioneer project developed by VMRC in collaboration with the Department of Developmental Services to support persons living independently who require supervision related to self-care, safety, court related restrictions, substance abuse support, etc. Staff members providing direct services receive ongoing training related to trauma informed care, among other specialties (including behavior intervention support, crisis communication, etc.)
