As a permanent supporting housing system, participation in Resident providers system is voluntary; which presents challenging for staff to motivate involvement in solutions readily available. Every citizen is contacted upon move-in and supplied an orientation towards RS system. Those that participate get a needs assessment which help to produce a person or family service plan. To improve the standard of life for our residents, we in addition take part the assistance associated with the community.

In addition, input and participation is motivated from residents during monthly Resident conferences and satisfaction studies.
