Community Residences
[SolutionS]
Homes for People Requiring Supportive Care
CIL partners with service providers to develop licensed community residences for persons with developmental disabilities and others in need of supportive residential settings. The homes allow persons with disabilities to live in community-based, non-institutional environments with an appropriate level of staff assistance.
Properties are acquired, and homes are built or renovated to agency specifications and leased to nonprofit, residential service providers under long-term capital lease arrangements. CIL secures 100 percent financing to cover all acquisition, construction, and soft costs. Lessee agencies are not required to contribute any equity towards the development. Upon the end of the lease term, CIL donates the property to the lessee agency.
CIL’s staff has extensive experience in all aspects of such specialized development: site acquisition, land use, building and fire code issues, zoning, architectural design, accessibility features, licensing requirements, and property management. At CIL, we work very closely with lessee providers on all site selection and design issues to customize each home to the needs of its residents.

Expertise
Even though we’re small in size, we’re big in expertise and experience. We’ve “been there, done that” on every real estate challenge imaginable from our portfolio of 800+ community residences completed throughout the years. Our team has an average of 21 years of real estate experience and have received industry certifications such as Project Management Professional (PMP), LEED Accreditation, certifications from the Commercial Real Estate Development Association.
Universal Design
Whenever possible, CIL uses universal design principles to make our homes accessible to all people, regardless of age, disability, or other factors. Homes are designed so residents have the option to “age in place.” Features include accessible bathrooms, extra wide hallways, and trusses that support the installation of lifts. Floor plans can be customized to fit unique needs.
Integrated Technology
Adding supportive technologies to your home can help aid and improve the independence of adults with disabilities. Technology such as voice-activated touchscreen tablets on kitchen walls to control appliances, sensor-augmented trash cans, automatic window blinds, and showers activated by a touchscreen interface, further supports self-determination and independence. If you are interested in integrating supportive technology into your home, we can help you review options, make decisions based on your needs and wants, and then implement them into our overall plan.
