What is a Sponsored Residential Provider?

Through DJT Health Services Waiver Services’ Sponsored Residential program, our providers empower individuals with Mental, intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to reach their highest potential by helping them build the skills necessary to flourish in the broader community.

The program allows an individual to live in a creatively tailored environment specific to their needs to ensure lifelong success. We match individuals to a unique home environment, allowing them to have more independence and connection to resources. As a Mental Health sponsored residential provider, you will help individuals strengthen life skills, achieve their personal goals, and build independence.
