This presentation explores comprehensive housing solutions for individuals with

Integrated Living Arrangements (CILA). The program emphasizes personalized, high-

transitioning from crisis situations to community living. By fostering partnerships with
healthcare professionals and families, the program provides the necessary support for
smooth adjustments and long-term success.

The presentation will highlight tailored support services, skill development opportunities,
and strategies for effective community integration. The goal is to empower individuals
