These homes all follow the Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA) model and are regulated by the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD).

To be eligible for residential services an individual must have a developmental disability and be on Medicaid.

What is the IRA?
The Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA) serves people with DD (who are Medicaid eligible) in a residential setting that meets their individualized needs. Trained and dedicated staff provide the supervision and assistance each resident requires to achieve a maximum level of independence. Day programming and clinical services offer the opportunity to continue to grow and learn while leading productive lives.
All people who live in an IRA operated by HASC Center either attend a day program during each weekday or hold a competitive job. Evenings and weekends are spent participating in social, cultural and recreational activities.
