Breaking Barriers: A Fresh Approach to Housing San Diego Regional Center Clients

Housing San Diego Regional Center Clients with Dignity and Innovation

For many individuals with developmental disabilities, finding stable and supportive housing can feel like navigating a maze with no clear path. Families often face overwhelming choices, limited resources, and long waitlists. At Homies, we believe it doesn’t have to be this way. When it comes to housing San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) clients, we’re reimagining what’s possible—starting with connection, community, and compassionate care.

Understanding the Housing Crisis Facing SDRC Clients

The San Diego Regional Center plays a vital role in coordinating services for individuals with developmental disabilities, but housing remains one of the most pressing challenges. Affordable options are limited. Traditional group homes may not offer the autonomy or lifestyle fit that many individuals and families desire. And navigating the various programs and funding options can be daunting without the right guide.

This is where innovative housing models like Supported Living Services (SLS) and Independent Living Services (ILS) come in. These options allow individuals to live in homes of their choosing—whether apartments, houses, or shared spaces—with personalized support built around their unique needs and goals.

How Homies is Redefining Housing San Diego Regional Center Clients

At Homies, we’ve developed a housing solution that’s tailored to the realities of today while staying deeply rooted in empathy and empowerment. Our model connects SDRC clients with Supportive Roommates—carefully matched individuals who live alongside the person served, offering support with daily living, companionship, and encouragement.

What makes the Homies approach powerful is its simplicity and humanity. It’s not about placing someone in a facility—it’s about building a real home where independence is honored and community is created.

Our process involves:

  • Personalized matching based on interests, communication styles, and needs

  • Locating housing in safe, accessible areas close to transit, schools, or family

  • Ongoing coaching and wraparound services to ensure stability

  • Flexible support levels based on the individual’s growth and changing needs

For families and case workers navigating housing San Diego Regional Center services, Homies provides a practical, heart-centered path forward—one that blends innovation with personal touch.

Why Families and Case Workers Trust Homies

We know that trust is earned. That’s why we focus on transparency, regular communication, and outcomes that matter. Our team works directly with SDRC service coordinators and families to build housing plans that align with the Lanterman Act, promote autonomy, and respect each individual’s vision for their life.

Unlike traditional care models, our Supportive Roommates aren’t clocking in and out—they’re living side by side, forming relationships that foster confidence, skill-building, and a sense of belonging.

We’ve seen firsthand the impact this can have. Clients who once felt isolated are now thriving in communities they love. Parents who worried about the future now feel hopeful and supported. And case workers now have a trusted partner helping navigate a complex system with clarity and care.

A Home Is More Than a Place—It’s a Launchpad

At Homies, we believe housing San Diego Regional Center clients should be about more than just a roof. It should be about choice, dignity, and possibility. That’s the heart of everything we do.
