🌟 How Lifehouse Launched California’s First Supported Living Services (SLS) 🌟

In 2004, Lifehouse forever changed the landscape of disability services in California by launching the state’s very first Supported Living Services (SLS) program. What began with just eight individuals has grown into a model of independence and inclusion that now supports more than 200 people — and has inspired programs across the state.

Thanks to the visionary leadership of Nancy Dow Moody, President & CEO of Lifehouse, and Dori McDonnell, former Lifehouse Manager, along with the courage of the individuals who took that first step toward independence, Supported Living Services are now a cornerstone of disability support in California.
