Supported Living

North Carolina

LSC offers comfortable homes in residential neighborhoods for adults coping with varying degrees of autism, mental illness, symptoms resulting from traumatic brain injury, or a broad range of intellectual or developmental disabilities. Though self-sufficiency is taught and encouraged in these homes, many clients may continue to live with LSC throughout their lives. Typically referred to as “group homes,” LSC offers four such residences in North Carolina.
