RIL Services & Advocacy Community Living Institutional Diversion
The goal of our Community Living – Institutional Diversion program is to eliminate unnecessary institutionalization of people with disabilities, and to reduce the risk of people with disabilities ending up on the streets, incarcerated, or in other restrictive settings like nursing homes. Our coordinator builds relationships with landlords, discharge planners, shelters, and law enforcement agencies to create collaborative partnerships and solutions around the issue of community integration of people with disabilities.
Our coordinator also meet with individuals desiring to move into a less restrictive setting and assists them in the creation of a plan which includes goals, needs, and a timeline to accomplish each goal.
For more information regarding our Community Living Diversion program, please contact ADRC Coordinator Linda Ngichu at lindan@ril-sacramento.org or call (916) 446-3074 during regular business hours.
