Mission and Vision
Our mission is to help older Americans and persons with disabilities to conduct their lives with maximum independence, dignity, and connection with their communities
The Center for Long Term Supports Innovation has a broad vision for aiding individuals, communities and government, and providers to identify or expand innovative concepts to meet our nation’s growing long term support services demand. Our vision is to:
- Foster the delivery of state of the art long-term care services and supports to low-income individuals and their families
- Support communities, states, and the federal government in the development of adequate LTC options, systems and infrastructure to meet demand
- Assist all LTC providers to deliver high quality services that meet the needs and preferences of individuals and families
- Develop models that meet consumer preferences with maximum efficiency
- Serve as a to connect critical policy and practice elements of LTC service systems including housing financing and development options, Medicaid and other financing options, and income supports
As the population of seniors and persons with disabilities grows, integrating housing, housing finance and innovative long-term supports solutions will be critical for government, long-term supports providers to support active and better educated long-term supports consumers (e.g., seniors and people with disabilities have a clearer vision of what they want than in the past).

History
We grew out of the Coming Home program. The Coming Home Program began in September 1999 and ended October 2007. The program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The program was designed to bring the benefits of assisted living to low-income, frail seniors living in rural areas. Coming Home created models of assisted living that serve low-income seniors. It focused on smaller communities where there are fewer options for frail seniors, particularly those with modest incomes.
Using our expertise garnered from the Coming Home Program, the Center for Long Term Supports Innovation provides innovative and expert technical assistance to states and community-based organizations. Our long history of housing with services work allows the Center for Long Term Supports Innovation to innovate and replicate sustainable and scalable long term care models nationwide. We are one of the nation’s leading resources for developing affordable, community-based housing options with particular expertise in affordable assisted living and integrated housing for seniors and persons with disabilities.
