Twin Cities Integrated Community Support (ICS): Supportive Apartments
Through the Integrated Community Support (ICS) waiver program, we provide apartments with 24-hour, awake staff who are known as direct support professionals. Rent can be paid in full or in part through Social Security Benefits, the MSA Grant, and the MSA Housing Grant. We help clients attain financial assistance and budget their benefits. Rent can also be paid in full or in part from gainful employment, which is something Global Health Link can help support through this and other programs. All the GHL ICS program locations feature access to public transit, restaurants, and places to shop (many options are within walking distance).
If Integrated Community Support may benefit you or someone you look after, please do not hesitate to contact Global Health Link to discuss qualifications and services.
