Built for the road to
independence.

We believe support should meet people where they are. LifeLink offers 1915(i) home and community-based services as a Medicaid-contracted provider through Alliance Health. We have particular focus and experience supporting youth transitioning out of foster care — helping them build the daily living skills, community connections, and stability they need as they move toward independent adulthood. Our Community Living & Support, Individual & Transitional Support, and Supported Employment services also support individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilitiesand those navigating behavioral health needs. Wherever someone is on that path, our team brings hands-on support, patience, and a familiar face — so independence feels achievable, not overwhelming.

What We Offer

  • CLS is about building a life, not just managing a day. Whether it's developing daily living skills, connecting with the community, or working toward personal goals, our team brings hands-on, patient support to help individuals live as independently as possible. Perfect for youth transitioning out of foster care, individuals with I/DD, or those with behavioral health needs.

  • ITS is coaching built for the road ahead. Whether it's self-help skills, social skills, or problem-solving, our team helps individuals build the confidence to navigate life on their own — with support designed to fade over time as independence grows. Especially suited for young adults aging out of foster care.

  • Meaningful work changes everything. Whether it's job coaching, workplace support, or building the skills to find and keep a job, our team helps individuals move toward financial independence and a sense of purpose in their community.
