Community Living Services

A Place to Call Home

TMI is honored to offer Independent Living and Supported Living Services for our clients. In order to live in a home or apartment in the community, one person may need live-in support, while others may need only intermittent support once or twice a week to help with such things as meal planning, grocery shopping or banking. TMI helps our clients develop and build skills to be independent.

Family Support Services

A Focus on Family

As a licensed Resource Family Agency (Foster Family Agency) TMI provides Resource Family placements for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Resource Families are available for youth with special needs who are unable to remain with their family of origin. Can you provide a caring home? We are in need of Resource Families. A competitive monthly stipend and respite are provided. Learn more!
