Persons who live in the community on their own or with their families may need assistance in many different ways in order to be as independent as possible. For some, help is needed with routine daily living tasks and personal care; for others, help is needed with managing their finances or negotiating other services and supports they need. Persons served may be single, married couples, and parents with children. Funding used to pay for these services may be through programs known as Challenge Grants, Supported Living, Real Life Choices, Self-Directed Services and fees for services or through two collaboratives funded by the United Way of Greater Mercer
