Supportive Housing
At Affinity Care MN, we recognize that housing needs change across different phases of life—and every person deserves a space where they can feel safe, supported, and seen. That’s why we offer a range of supportive housing options designed to meet people where they are. Whether someone is ready for more independence or needs round-the-clock care, we provide housing models that honor their goals and help them thrive.
​
From Integrated Community Supports (ICS) that promote independent living with flexible support, to Community Residential Services (CRS)—including customized and assisted living settings—for individuals who benefit from structured, 24/7 care, our homes are more than places to live. They’re places to grow, heal, and belong.
Integrated Community Supports (ICS)
What is ICS?
Integrated Community Supports (ICS) is a service designed for adults with disabilities who live in apartment-style housing controlled by a provider. This model prioritizes privacy, autonomy, and flexible support based on the person’s goals and needs—allowing individuals to live more independently while still receiving customized assistance.
​
How We Support:
-
We help develop and implement individualized support plans.
-
Our staff provide on-site assistance with daily living skills, employment goals, health needs, and community engagement.
-
We encourage independence while remaining accessible for meaningful, hands-on support.
ICS is ideal for individuals who are ready to live on their own or with minimal co-tenancy but still need consistent access to supports that promote stability, connection, and personal growth.
Community Residential Services (CRS)
(formerly known as a group home)
Community Residential Services (CRS) at Affinity Care MN provide safe, supportive, and structured residential care for adults with disabilities who benefit from 24/7 support in a shared home setting. These homes foster stability, companionship, and individualized care—all within a nurturing, culturally responsive environment.
​
Our CRS programs include both Customized Living and Assisted Living options to meet a variety of support needs:
​
Customized Living
Customized Living offers individualized support within a community-based setting that feels like home. Residents live in a shared home or apartment setting where they receive flexible support services such as:
​
-
Medication management
-
Assistance with meals, hygiene, and personal care
-
Household tasks and skill-building
-
Community integration support
These services are tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each resident, empowering them to maintain as much independence as possible while receiving consistent support.
Assisted Living
Our Assisted Living homes provide a higher level of care for individuals with more complex medical, behavioral, or daily living needs. These settings offer:
​
-
24/7 staff supervision
-
Licensed nurse support
-
Health monitoring and coordination with medical professionals
-
Structured programming and therapeutic activities
Assisted Living is ideal for individuals who require a stable environment with round-the-clock oversight but still want to live in a space that feels like home—not an institution.
At Affinity Care MN, we’re intentional about creating environments where people are respected, supported, and seen. Whether through Customized Living or Assisted Living, our CRS services are grounded in dignity, safety, and culturally attuned care—designed to help each person live with purpose and pride.
