Family Support

Everyone needs support from time to time

The services of Community Ventures in Living, Ltd., are founded on the belief that every individual has the right to live as a valued and accepted member of the community. Recognizing that from time to time every individual needs support, FIS provides assistance to families and individuals that have disabilities. We strive to assist people to live as independently as is appropriate and to create an environment where dignity, a positive social role and integration into the community, self-direction, and a feeling of self-worth are enhanced through supporting individual strengths, relationships, and the acquisition of life skills.
