Community Living Arrangements

People in various private living arrangements and some residents of facilities are considered to have a ”r;community” living arrangement. The distinction between community and facility living arrangements may be based on factors such as the specific type of facility, the size of the facility, or the length of the resident’s stay.

The following are considered to be community living arrangements, and are indicated with living arrangement code ”r;80” on the system:

l  Campground.

l  Car.

l  Chemical dependency (CD) halfway house. Offers only halfway house services and no other level of CD treatment.

l  Child foster care – Rules 1, 4 and 8.

l  Detox-only facility. Offers only chemical detoxification.

l  Halfway house (non-CD). Privately operated facility of any size, or, a standalone publicly operated community residence with 16 or fewer beds for people making the transition from a correctional facility to the community.
