Alternative Family Living

What is Alternative Family Living?

AFL settings offer individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities a chance to experience a better life with a licensed/unlicensed family that provides specialized services and support. This fosters a sense of belonging and promotes independence as the individual becomes part of a new family structure and engages in various community and family-based activities such as school, work, day services, volunteer opportunities, and more.
