Program areas at Mary Lee Foundation
The intermediate care facility for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities program is long-term care for adults. Two of the programs are housed in 6-unit apartment complexes which allows for residents to be in the least restrictive environment, while still having 24-hour supervision and staff assistance. Additionally, there are seven group homes operated in the austin area for residents. All programs include: case management, nursing, staff assistance and supervision, bookkeeping, independent living skills classes, transportation, assistance with meal preparation, taking medications, and hygiene. Approximately 159 residents were served during this fiscal year.
The community housing program offers 58 affordable apartments to austin's seniors, veterans, adults with disabilities, individuals and families with very low income, and adults experiencing near homelessness. Many of the apartments provided in this program accept rental assistance through agencies such as housing authorities, section 8, vash, and various other program vouchers specific to the circumstances of the individual. Additionally, private payment is accepted at an affordable rate. This gives us the opportunity to provide diverse residents with housing options that allow them to take back their independence. Approximately 58 clients were served in this fiscal year.
