Fraser Community Living Programs

Finding housing can be difficult for individuals with special needs. Maybe they’ve been living at home, but are ready to move out on their own. Or perhaps they have reached adulthood, but still need some support at home. Fraser can help.

Fraser Community Living offers three different living options for teens and adults with special needs: Supervised Living, Supportive Living and Independent Living. These distinct housing options are as unique as the people who live there. Our goal is to provide just enough support to ensure they can live comfortably on their own.

Fraser has 27 Supervised Living homes available to teens and adults with special needs. These homes are located in neighborhoods throughout Hennepin and Anoka counties. The housing choice is for individuals who need more support at home and to participate in their community.

In Supervised Living, Fraser staff is on-site 24 hours a day. They help residents manage their daily needs and encourage them to work toward goals. Staff helps residents with grocery shopping, meal prep and attending events in the community.

We currently have an opening at Oakland:

Oakland House is a four-bedroom, home with one above ground story and another story in the finished basement, located in Bloomington. The available bedroom is located down a full staircase, in the basement, and has its own bathroom with a shower. 3 ladies, who are in their 30s and 40s, currently live here. These women either work or attend a day program during the day. Water aerobics, eating out at restaurants, going to movies, arts and crafts, and yoga are some of these individuals’ favorite activities. On the weekends and some holidays, it is common for the ladies to go home and spend time with their families. When this occurs, the home may be closed for part of or all of the day. This home offers 1:4 or 1:2 staffing during the evenings and weekends but typically does not have staff during daytime hours. This home has asleep overnight staffing and has monthly visits from a registered nurse.

We currently have an opening at Oxbow:

Oxbow is a split-level home located in Eden Prairie. The individuals living there are between the ages of 25-55. The house is open to all genders. The individuals served at this location are not home during the day, so there is not staffing provided. Going to the movies, going out to eat, or seasonal activities, such as going to a pumpkin patch, are some of their favorite activities. On the weekends, some individuals may leave, but others typically stay home. The house is staffed with a 1:4 ratio and offers awake overnight staffing.

Supportive Living

Fraser Supportive Living offers person-centered services to adults living in their own apartments. Our team specializes in supporting people who have a developmental disability or intellectual disability diagnosis. Supportive Living services include a combination of 24-hour Emergency Assistance and Individualized Home Supports with Training. Services are based on the unique strengthens and needs of each person, with Fraser staff working to help them live as independently as possible. The services Fraser offers to support these individuals can be covered by either a DD or CADI waiver (or private pay at the same rate).

We have an opening at Woodstone:

Fraser has availability to provide services to an individual living in their own 2-bedroom apartment home, with a roommate, at Woodstone. Woodstone is in Saint Paul and is located near bus lines, several shops, and recreational trails. Individuals pay their own market-rate rent, utilities and living expenses for their apartment. County waiver funding is used to pay for staffing and services provided.

Fraser has five Independent Living apartment buildings. These apartments are for adults, 18 years and up, with developmental disabilities who can live independently with little support. Independent Living buildings are located in Apple Valley, Bloomington, Hopkins, Minnetonka and Richfield.

Fraser staff mediate tenant issues, help with emergencies, plan activities and assist residents with engaging in the community. Residents pay 30% of their adjusted gross income in rent.
