Community Passages is a community-based residential program designed to provide a homelike environment for individuals with developmental disabilities and dual diagnoses, many of whom present significantly challenging behaviors and most of whom previously resided at state centers and hospitals. Residents develop life skills, increase their self-esteem, and are empowered to make choices for themselves. Person-centered planning, self-determination, and personalization foster individualized programs in an open and safe environment that encourages consumer empowerment and personal growth. Per diem DSPs are eligible to work different shifts at different locations throughout the area. Shifts are typically 7am to 3pm, 3pm to 11pm, and awake overnights 11pm to 7am. You only need to work one 8 hour per pay period in order to stay in our per diem relief pool.
