We give priority to low-income and underserved people, many of whom are at risk of not being able to live safely in the community.

Our approach is to provide high quality, cost-effective care through comprehensive, highly-integrated, community-based services.

Our programs fall into two categories:

Our staff members approach the individuals who use our services as partners, understanding that we depend on each other in order to identify and build upon our particular strengths and effectively manage the challenges we face.
