Support for Living and Working in the
Community
Community Living Association provides
services and support for individuals with developmental disabilities in
the Houlton area. With the support of the community, individuals can
contribute to the community in many ways. People with developmental
disabilities, like other customers, patronize businesses and become loyal
customers. Community Living Association (CLA) clients hold jobs and
pay taxes. They get pleasure from contributing to society and
achieving their personal work goals. Our clients participate in
leisure activities, church services, clubs and organizations. The
people CLA provides services for are just like everyone else. They
want to be successful, to be productive members of the community, to share
good times with friends and family members and to be accepted by society.
The people we serve want the chance to live as normal a life as possible.
