MoreThe original, grass roots program was designed to serve a maximum of six adults and operated out of four cottages in South Central Los Angeles. Once clients developed their skills, they graduated and were provided assistance with finding their own apartments in communities of their choice. Despite the intensive training provided, most clients were not able to live completely independently. Thus, a new service was developed to provide follow up support. This service became the service of choice and within 10 years, it was used exclusively and the apartment training program model was disbanded. In 1991, there was a dramatic shift in the philosophy regarding service provision. There was a strong impetus to offer more individualized services to people with severe challenges thus Supported Living was born. This was a very exciting time because many people who desired to live in their own homes were previously denied the opportunity simply because of the amount of support they would require. Creative Support became one of the first service providers in the State of California to provide this new, innovative service. Since its inception, the desire for Supported Living has increased dramatically and it continues to be in high demand. We developed other specialized services over the years to meet the needs of our clientele and our services continue to be in high demand ; we serve clients in both Los Angeles and Orange counties and work with six regional centers ( Westside Regional Center ; Regional Center of Orange County ; Lanterman Regional Center ; South Central Los Angeles Regional Center ; Harbor Regional Center ; and East Los Angeles Regional Center ). We are no longer a grass roots organization, but we remember and embrace our humble beginning because it gave us strength and vision. Despite our growth, we have not lost our sight of our purpose of serving individuals and Creative Support is considered one of the most flexible and person-centered agencies. We have received awards and recognition from various regional centers and local legislators ; we are very proud of and thankful for this recognition and we believe our success is due to our dedication and hard work, our concentration on the needs and preferences of the individuals we serve and by remaining focused on our mission.
