Short Term Stabilization for Adults with IDD


If you have an intellectual/developmental disability (IDD) and are struggling to keep your home and provider due to behavioral health needs, the Developmental Disabilities Community Services Division (DDCS/formerly DDA) offers short-term services to help you stabilize your life and get connected with supports in your community. 

  • One option, called Stabilization, Assessment and Intervention Facility, is a state-operated program for adults with developmental disabilities at risk of losing their home and caregiver. SAIF helps people reach three identifiable goals during their 90-day stay so that they can keep their services in the community and return home with supports in place. 

  • The other option, called Diversion Bed Services, is for people who have lost their home and caregiver. It’s provided in a single-person home that’s leased by a contracted provider. This service helps people get the support they need to stabilize, learn new skills and get connected with long-term supports in their community. 

Watch the videos in the links above to learn more about each program.

If you have questions about how to get these services, please talk to your DDCS (formerly DDA) case manager.
