Options

Options for Community Living, Inc. is committed to helping Long Island's neediest families and individuals live healthier, more stable and productive lives. In 1982 Options was established to respond to the need for supportive housing for people with serious mental illness. The Mental Health Residential Program grew rapidly, and in 1994 Options began providing case management services and housing to Long Islanders living with HIV/AIDS. More recently, Options has partnered with Long Island Health Homes to offer care coordination services to high need Medicaid users with chronic illnesses through the Access to Care Program. Today, Options serves over 1500 adults and children annually through its programs and manages over 150 housing sites scattered across Long Island. Options has been accredited, with commendations, by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), since 2000. This accreditation signifies Options' commitment to quality, value, and optimal outcomes in the delivery of services.
