Built in 1991 for Housing for Independent People (HIP), Homeport provides an affordable community for adults with developmental disabilities and offers a first step program in basic independent living skills in an adult family environment. Community Options, a community based provider of services to adults with developmental disabilities, provides a live-in manager who oversees training for independent living, including; self-care, cooking, money management, shopping and transportation, and other services. Additionally, the residents attend bi-monthly tenant association meetings where they actively participate in decisions about community improvements such as new paint, furniture, plants and artwork, thereby strengthening their experience of having a voice and enhancing their pride in their home and its appearance.
