Provide a summary of the project or program:

We would like to establish a network of houses for these individuals in the greater Baton Rouge area. The staffing will be provided through their existing Medicaid waivers. We would like to acquire or build houses that would eventually be self sustaining through the waivers.

Once the funds are available, we will plan fund-raising opportunities to supplement and maintain the program.
